I have a West African heritage (Ghana). I recently discovered I descend from the Jamaican Marroons who went back to Sierra-Leone a shy century ago. They were mixed with Tainos. I never thought I would carry such a heavy heritage. I am proud of this info and proud of being the daughter of such powerful and courageous peoples. I love my ancestors.

Chickamauga-Cherokee (Chickamogie-Tsalagi) and Celtic-British-Norse guy replying to your wise words. I hear a favorite owl of mine outside in southeast Michigan, USA, right now, late at night. The stresses of our modern day seem to cease momentarily again. Now I let history and nature run through my head as I listen to you. The great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated around where many personal ancestors lived for much of the past three centuries. My Irish-Cherokee greater-grandfathers and mothers assisted in the abolition of slavery as they were more traditional and kind to nature. July 3rd, 1863 and June 19th, 1865 are the most important dates for me as an American. Those dates freed many Americans. Us southeast woodland Indians fought and survived through many devastating wars and decades of colonial oppression and were often enslaved; being military prisoners. Many Cherokee are of a complex African descendency as well, because of that past reality. Thanks for the wisdom bro. Much peace, love, mercy and respect. On a side-note, I think pre-colonial era Cherokee picked-up the use of the blowgun for hunting from meeting Arawaks and or Caribs. A friendship between Xaymaca and myself will always remain strong, God willing.

The Arawaks Taínos emerged c. 1200 C.E. They are descendants of the Arawaks who migrated from the northern coastal region of South America to the Caribbean where they settled in the Greater Antilles.

From Jamaica Information Service website, Parish Profile: St Elizabeth Early settlement in St. Elizabeth began in the Pedro Plains where the Tainos, the first known inhabitants of Jamaica, occupied the coastline and lead a simple life. Though the original Tainos died by the 17th century, persons of Taino descent from Surinam came to settle in the parish in the 18th century and their descendants are there to this day.

Some of the Africans who settled in Jamaica mixed with Native Americans. Not too many Jamaicans have Native American genes but some do, just a very small amount.

Much love from your sister. I feel happy about someone of my descent that is knowlegable about his existence

[@nomadranger2455]

I would love to have a conversation with this man. I can really dig his message, and his way of thinking. I am a huge history buff, and stumbled upon this vid wanting to learn about the history of Jamaca. Far to man vids I came across were soaked in racist remarks as well as the comment sections. It was starting to put me off. But this vid changed that for me. Thank you for that Sr. I look forward to a trip to your island some day. I'm excited about the food as well. The real Jamacen food. Not the toresty stuff.

The biggest surprised comes from the writings of French ethnologist, Charles de Rochefort. His landmark book, Histoire naturelle et morale des îles Antilles de l’Amérique, initially published in 1558, also contains several chapters on the indigenous peoples of the Lower Southeast . . . in particular, northern Georgia. De Rochefort interviewed several of the few surviving Arawaks in the Greater and Lesser Antilles, plus Richard Briggstock, who spent much of 1653 in what is now Georgia.

[@Mad_Vybz]

According to the Taino elders, the Arawaks originated in the Coastal Plain of Georgia and South Carolina. They constructed the shell rings there and probably were responsible for the earliest known pottery in North America. Most of the Arawaks began migrating southward until they eventually reached Peru and the Amazon Basin. They then began migrating back north again. De Rochefort stated that at one time there were many Arawaks in the North Carolina Mountains, but they had been mostly replaced by Apalachete (Itza Maya & Creek Indians). Some Arawaks still remained.

[@randee4550]

@@Mad_Vybz Where'd you get that bullshit from? Taínos lived in what's now Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic/Haiti, Cuba, parts of Jamaica, parts of south Florida, and parts of the Bahamas. All other bullshit, is just that. BULLSHIT. Ain't nobody speak to no elders, my nigga. Unless they were like 500 years old.
