How many taino are alive today?

Answer 1

The Taíno people, originally indigenous to the Caribbean, faced significant decline due to colonization, disease, and assimilation. While the Taíno culture and identity were largely suppressed, some descendants identify as Taíno today. Estimates suggest that there are tens of thousands of people in the Caribbean and the United States who claim Taíno ancestry, but there is no definitive count of individuals who identify solely as Taíno. Efforts to revive and celebrate Taíno heritage continue among these communities.
