Cuba: Indigeneity, The Cacique’s Orality and Other Taino Trails - Preorder

"The stories told in Cuba: Indigeneity are unique to Cuba and they are also a common story amongst Indigenous peoples in every part of Mother Earth. The stories of extinction, invisibility, devaluation, and demonization are in every place. Every place has been colonized. But in José Barreiro's book. we also find also the stories of persistence, resilience and the maintenance of the teachings of Mother Earth.  And this is the message from Cuba indigenous: to care for one another and to care for the land."

– Lorna Wänosts'a7 Williams (Lil'watul), Professor Emerita University of Victoria: Chair First Peoples Cultural Foundation

"For over three decades, since 1989. when José Barreiro first cam to me in Baracoa. We have campaigned to correct the myth of Indigenous extinction in Cuba. It has been a meaningful journey, full of cultural and historical wonders. For one, it has achieved a new recognition for the Indigenous peoples of Cuba and for Cuban Indigeneity."

– Aleiandro Hartmann, Historian, Office of the Conservator of the First City of Baracoa, Cuba
