Taino Areyto 2008
The Wanakan Cultural Center of the Taino Nation of the Antilles, cordially invites you and your whole family to attend our 16th annual Taino Areyto, the largest gathering of Taino from Boriken, Kuba, Kiskeya and the rest of the Antilles, in the Diaspora of the U.S... This year we will be Dedicating our Areyto to our ancestral spirit honoring all those who have recently passed. Please join us in honoring all of our Elders. So make sure you bring the elders of your family and let us all bless them and honor them in life as we now honor our Ancestors. Come and immerse yourself in music, song and dance as the Mayowakan drums beats to the rhythm of your heart and the Taino blood that runs through our veins. Then dance with us hand in hand as we celebrate the resurgence and restoration of the Taino Nation. For those of you who are not Taino come join us in celebrating our resurgence. Celebrate our Heritage, our Culture and our language. Come and meet and reconnect with the descendants of the Taino people. Enjoy our Arts and Crafts and meet some of our Artist and Venders and take home that very special item to your family and friends. Attend one of our Lectures on Language with Kacike Boriwex or join Waxeru Anani in her discussion on family mental health. For those of you who have joined us throughout the years we look forward to rekindling old friendship and for those coming for the very first time we look forward to forging new friendships so come join us. See you on Saturday November 15th, 2008, as we once again celebrate “El Dia del Pueblo Taino”, Day of the Taino People.
Que toquen los Wamos, despierta Taino celebra lo tuyo, Han Han Katu.
