That all depends on how short they cut their hair, how much they expose to the sun and how well do they eat.

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. yumnuk, not true... they might be mixed in DR but what about the other islands.... All the girls are pretty too!

I am curious because i'm gonna take an Mtdna test one of these days, to see where i fall, but phenotypically my mtdna is either indegenous or african leaning more toward indegenous going by the looks of my great great grandmother. @Other posters I dont think that many canarians came into d.r, and you have to remember that Canarians traveled alot back and forth and many times didnt say in places, hence why they brought words like Guagua (an indegenous word 'wawa' from Cuba into the canary islands. D.R was not an ideal colony for people to settle from affar in large numbers specially canarians. Culturally D.R doesnt have alot of canarian culture, where as puertorico and cuba developed very serious Decima traditions, and complex sets of guitar's and european dance forms. The whites that came into D.R mostly mixed into the culture, and began adopting indegenous and african forms of life, rather then the other way around. Canarians from lousiana actually sound alot like Cubans, and look alot like Cubans. I think cuba had the most canarian immigration followed by puertorico and venezuela, d.r had less. Hermano Lemba, The people from the Azua region who tested positive for Native mtDNA were mostly of the D haplo group. The poeple in the Cibao are either haplo group A or C which is what Tainos are basically composed of. The sequence according to what I have been told appears to be from an earlier migration. It could be that the ciboney intermarried with the arriving Arawaks in this region earlier than others. I think many people (not you of course) have it in their minds that Tainos were a single ethnic group when in fact they were mixed blood. Sometimes I am asked if I am "pure" indian and I always reply , yes I am purely mixed! About the special African halpo group: I have not heard more on this, but I am very excited about it as you are. It is almost as though and entire ethnic group came intact to the DR. This is one group of people (in my opinion) that we can trace back not only genetically but also culturally and see where they left their mark in the Dominican People of today. Truly exciting stuff! BTW you are 100 % correct in regards to the Canarians. Teh word wawa (guagua) is of Indigenous origen. I have spoken to many canarians and they attribute much of their particular brand of Spanish to Latin AMerican influence since most canarians who migrated to Latin America usually returned home, bringing with them cultural and linguistic traits found today there. All the best my friend Baracutei We have to remember that our Tainos Women were free to select her Sexual-Couple and Interrelation were wellcome among them to improve and strength their people.

Baracutei Location: United States, New York/CT Join date: January 2009 Member #: 1982 Posts: 105	RE: Taino Ancestry Among Dominicans I have not been able to come on for a few days, but as promised more pictures. This is rather a silly game I play sometimes where I ask people to "find the Dominican". Since many assume that there truly is a general look to all dominicans to learn other wise seems to provoke people to think deeper about the heritages of our island. In this picture there are four people. Some all look Native, but which one is actually Dominican? All the best Baracutei Edited on 7/9/2009 2:41 PM by Baracutei.

JEM237 Location: United States, Newark, NJ Join date: July 2008 Member #: 1042 Posts: 676	RE: Taino Ancestry Among Dominicans In my opinion, out of the four individuals in the photos above, #1, #3, and #4 all look Dominican to me. The person in #2 looks to be from Mexico, Central, or South America.
