The study, conducted by the University of Puerto Rico, reveals that approximately 15-18% of Dominicans have Native American Mitochondrial DNA out of a population of nearly 10,000,000. The research is based on 1200 DNA samples taken throughout the island with some test areas revealing 90% of the subjects with Native ancestry. While the percentages are lower than similar studies conducted on the neighboring island of Puerto Rico, the estimates defy “popular” accounts that the Indigenous Peoples were completely exterminated on that island. “This study is a confirmation of what we have already known and promoted for years” stated Roberto Borrero, a representative of the United Confederation of Taino People. “Our people continue to exist within the multi-cultural mosaic that is the Caribbean despite the genocidal campaigns that began against us 516 years ago with the arrival of Columbus.” One interesting aspect of the study is that individuals tested in the Cibao region seem to have a different DNA sequence than those tested in the southern part of the island. While both sequences are indigenous the variants could shed some light on ancient migrations. The study also reveals that the Taino descendants from the Cibao area could have been relatively “un-mixed racially” until more recent times.

Columbus wrote back to the Queen and told of these peaceful people that can easily be used for slavery and riches. On subsequent visits back to the Arawak's it was Columbus' policy that if they didn't have arms full of riches, to chop their hands off. It is such an absurdity that we celebrate this butcher with a holiday. Columbus wrote: There I found very many islands, filled with innumerable people, and I have taken possession of them all for their Highnesses, done by proclamation and with the royal standard unfurled, and no opposition was offered to me.

It is such an absurdity that we celebrate this butcher with a holiday. Different time. Different era. You cannot use moral equivalancy with something over 500 years ago. Was Columbus worse than the Aztecs who practiced ritual Human Sacrifice? Worse than the Caribe Indians who practiced Canibalism? The Incas who's whole economy was based on Slave Labor? Muslims who beheaded Adulterers?....Oh wait. That is going on today. Columbus a great man. A flawed man but who here isn't? |

We must remember that Typically Americans and English like to take away what Spain contribution to the world by making bashful commentaries like these. Their motto "Divide and conquer" For some non-Hispanic, it is not to their advantage for all Latin America countries and Spain to be united, to have a good rapport. England and their sons (USA) have some type of jealousy towards our mother land Spain. That is why England sent so many pirates to rob Spanish fleets. That is why US help rebels in South America to divide South America and to rob the Caribbean and you know the USA states. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/quisqueya_jamas_destruida/ "BLOCK BY BLOCK LET'S BUILD THE WALL" “EL BRUTO AUNQUE SE DISFRASE DE LIBRO, BRUTO SE QUEDA” LA BRUTALIDAD NO SE APRENDE, SE HEREDA.[/B] |

NOBODY is jealous of Spain and its "achievements". actually, Spain is the laughing stock of Europe. although the European Union is a community, when the economy crashed, there was universal opposition to a unitary bailout, as done in the USA. the reason, you ask? because the more advanced economies did not want to bail out a country like spain, which they see as more of a liability than an asset. |

The fact that we worship this asshole like a hero is embarrassing,...Also you seem to really believe that you are educated and intelligent, and that you have "heard it all before" but I know your kind and they amuse me. and I also have encountered people like you who think they know, and they are old and experienced, but at the end they are just prisoners of their own ignorance.
