One more in the #readingpile that I thought would be quick.
Nope.
If Columbus was our first serial killer (he was), Las Casas was our first activist. And he pulled no punches. It's a HARD read.

More in the #readingpile. This was thin so I thought it would be quick.
Nope. As with many white researchers, he equates cemis with gods. See 2nd photo for my issues. It's sloppy research.

Seeking the ways of my ancestors
Buried beneath the years
Hidden by those who fear
The fire and wisdom of Ancients.

Newest book in my Boriken library. 😁
And, yes, going on the #readingpile (no surprise, right).

For my #taino family, my current library. If you're just starting to learn about our people, these are some of the best books to start with.

Another one I just finished. I started it last year or earlier, but again got distracted from the index/appendices.

I was asked what is the difference between gods and taino cemis (my understanding is they weren't seen as gods but spirits).
I think I may have been guided to an answer while reading tonight.

Finally done. I actually finished the bulk of it last year (awhile ago), but the indexes/appendices didn't interest me as much so took me a bit.
