Taino Fun House
Taino Macabuca Bohio
The Taino Fun House or Taino Macabucá Bohio aims to educate, amuse, and engage the public through public and private events, video, Taino Radio clips, and other fun content. Sanakori is an Indigenous-Caribbean groovy advocate for the culture. I am a Behike (ceremonial leader) at Arayeke Yukayek. I wrestle for the “Taíno” culture in the Caribbean and diaspora through the healing arts, music, and remembrance. Indigenous-Caribbean culture has constantly evolved through the ages. My passion is to share Taíno culture with all of you. I am honored that you arrived at my website. I hope we can help one another continue to evolve as children of the Creator. Not only are we still here; we never left.
