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. Edited on 7/3/2009 3:09 PM by yumnuk3.

RE: Taino Ancestry Among Dominicans

Everyone in D.R has some taino ancestry, it concentrates certain towns in the South and in the Cibao, so to say that is incorrect, Azua and San Juan de la maguana have alot of indegenous ancestry and just as much if not more indegenous material culture then the cibao. There is really no stereotype for any region. When a dominican says "Indio" he is not refering to Taino or indegenous, it simply means brown. For example, a very indegenous looking person in d.r would get called Achinao "Chinese like", or Chino. You might hear this "ese tipo el indio achinao" in other words the brown person wtih indegenous/asiatic features. Indio is actually also synonimous with moreno, the difference is that Indio has more color ranges, u can be an indio claro or indio oscuro but moreno doesnt have that flexibility, moreno is usually the further end of the brown spectrum.

Ask the next Dominican who says Indio if he's a Taino and he might say something stupid like, "No, esa gente eran alreve y salvaje" cause i've heard it.

It has almost nothing to do with genotype, since two brothers often can have two different descriptions.

Everyone that has Native American heritage in the Caribbean is mixed rather than full-blooded. Were you expecting to see you full-blooded Native Americans? By the way, All the photos I posted are from a Dominican website. Edited on 7/3/2009 11:54 PM by yumnuk3.
