-------------------------------------------

Our Taino Indigenous Nations Sacred Objects are being sold at auctions,
yet we can not stop them, because of a loophole in the law of not being
BIA officially recognized. We are now starting up a fight to stop these
people from selling our Sacred things. We need the help of our all Native
American Nations to stop this from happening. Can anyone help us Tainos
the First Americans of the invasion of Oct 12, 1492. Your fight is our
fight, our fight is your fight! Now we Taino's need your brotherly
support. Our Southern Coliri (Hummingbird) is calling to his brother
the Guaraguao (Great Redhawk) and the Spotted Eagle) its brothers to the
north. Our Mayohuacan Drum of the South beats for the union of the Sacred
Buffalo Drum. The Longhouse of the Wolf Clan hear our cries, the crys of
the 6 Million Taino ancestors the victims of Columbus!
