I guess anywhere and everywhere Jamaican(s), Cuban(s), and/or Hispanolan(s) (along with certain others) descendants with brown skin in their genes are living....And that can be all over the world but is much likely in more abundant populations near their home-lands or, obviously, in certain economic zones or locations of specific importance. For example, Dominicans in the economic areas of California...even though California's so far away...(in comparison to my home in Broward, South Florida) (I'm Hispanolan by the way - a brown-skinned Haitian) (who doesn't get along with an uneducated brown 'African' parent who denies Taino is her people).

Do taino Indians still exist today?

Taino culture has influenced the way of life in the Spanish speaking Carribean. The Spanish language as spoken there still retains over 1000 words in their every day speech that comes from the Taino. Most of the towns and cities still retain their Taino names as do the rivers and mountain ranges. The foods that are consumed are still the same items cultivated by the Taino except they've been spiced up a bit more by additions of Spanish and African condiments . Even Salsa has a Taino cultural contribution. They still play the Maracas and the Guiro ( scraper ) both Taino inventions. People still use tobacco for healing and divination rituals and oral traditions are still passed down to the younger generations. Areitos (ceremonial Dances) are still done in various sacred places on the islands.
