There are two wolves inside me. My mother's #AngloSaxon #Mayflower wolf, and my father's mixed #Taino, #Black, #Spanish #Boricua wolf.
Both wolves are tired. Worn out.
Columbus Day
The lynching of 11 Italian-American immigrants in New Orleans in 1891 that led to the first Columbus Day celebration in the United States, led the following year by President Benjamin Harrison. President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated Columbus Day as a national holiday in 1934.
Lynching.
#Columbus landing place was an island in the #bahamas known by its native inhabitants as Guanahani. He thought it was Asia. The disease he brought almost wiped out the #taino Factos.
I'm prepping for tomorrow's workshop with UnidosNow, a local Hispanic/Latinx org that has been shaken by the recent wave of deportations and has decided that working with #clay would be a grounding, healing activity to help cope with that reality.
Before the hands-on clay part, I'll share photos of the #Taíno potter I met in #PuertoRico when we visited in 2023. #AliceChéverez of Morovis carries on the ancient art of her people, passed on to her by her mother. #alttext #Indigenous #ceramics
The history of Western #imperialism is bookended by #genocides: the #genocide perpetrated by #Columbus against the #Taino people after 1492, & the current #US #Israeli genocide against the people of #Palestine. Plus countless more in between. 500+ years of #barbarism & it must be stopped.

#Breadfruit: The #Caribbean's #HurricaneResistant #food
21 February 2024
Susan B. Clark
Excerpt: "Originally brought to Jamaica from the Pacific Islands by the HMS Bounty in 1794, breadfruit was an inexpensive, nutritious food for enslaved Africans labouring on British-owned sugar plantations. The trees grow quickly and fruit within a year of planting, producing 200 to 400 fruits per year the size of a large grapefruit or small watermelon. Breadfruit contains all nine essential amino acids and is a good source of fibre, protein and several minerals and vitamins.
"In the centuries since their introduction, breadfruit trees were abundant across Jamaica, and the fruit has been a staple of the country's cuisine. In recent years, as communities have sought out more sustainable, local and healthy food sources – especially ones that can withstand extreme weather (a breadfruit tree that's damaged in a hurricane can regrow itself) – breadfruit has experienced renewed interest as a nutritious and versatile option, providing both health and economic benefits.
"Typically eaten as a side dish and used like a vegetable, breadfruit is most often roasted, peeled and sliced. Its taste is subtly sweet, with a chewy bread-like quality (hence its name). Its soft and starchy texture is akin to a root vegetable like potato or cassava. Like those foods, it takes on the flavour of the main course with which it is served.
[...]
"Breadfruit can also be processed into flour, creating a gluten-free alternative for baking.
"Karlene Johnson uses the flour at her bakery outside of Kingston called Something Country. Her treats include #bulla (a cake-like snack made with molasses), #bammies (a flatbread originating from the island's #Indigenous #Taíno peoples) and oatmeal cookies.'
"'Historically, breadfruit is important," she said. 'Culturally, every Jamaican can identify it as part of their gastronomic experience. Economically, Jamaica stands to benefit from local and international sales of the raw fruit and other processed products.'"

How to Awaken a Sleeping Language

"'Right now, the Taíno people would be considered the tenth largest tribe or nation in the United States and its territories,' Kacike Mukaro says.
Yet the Taíno Nation is not recognized by the US Federal Government. In fact, the only government organization that currently recognizes any tribe of Taíno people as an Indigenous group is the government of the US Virgin Islands.
But why is this? And why is there still so much contention around whether the Taínos still exist and who can claim that ancestry? Well, much of it stems from the way colonial powers imposed their policies on Indigenous populations, something that the tribe is still seeing the effects of hundreds of years later."
