The golden flower



Here you will find the origin story of Boriquén. If you are Boricua, you will always have Boriquén in your heart.

I need to read more Taino stories. I do wish the author would have researched a bit more and not used words that we know the Taino would not have used prior to being conquered by the Spanish. One of the hardest parts of our history is realizing that so much of the Taino language has been lost. But also, realizing that the Spanish colonized so much of the Taino language, adding words to it's dictionary claiming it as Spanish when it's really a Taino word.
