Taíno Presence at the Gathering of Nations Powwow

Each April, Taíno people actively participate in the Gathering of Nations Powwow, the largest Indigenous gathering in North America, held in Albuquerque. Taíno dancers, artisans, and singers travel from Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland to affirm survival, visibility, and solidarity with Native nations across Turtle Island. Their presence challenges the long-standing myth of Taíno “extinction” and asserts continuity in living, evolving culture.

Participation is both ceremonial and contemporary. Taíno delegates join the Grand Entry—when nations are called into the sacred circle—signaling recognition within the wider Indigenous community. Cultural exchange includes traditional dancing (often marked by a left-foot stomp to call ancestors) and “New Taíno” crafts that blend ancestral forms with modern tools. The powwow has become a key meeting place for alliance-building and community cohesion.

In 2026, the Gathering of Nations is scheduled for the fourth weekend of April and announced as the final event in Albuquerque after 43 years. Taíno representation is often coordinated through the United Confederation of Taíno Peoples, which also advocates for Indigenous visibility at international forums. The message is clear: Taíno culture endures—present, connected, and recognized.

Cada abril, el pueblo Taíno participa activamente en el Gathering of Nations Powwow, el encuentro indígena más grande de América del Norte, celebrado en Albuquerque.

Bailarines, artesanos y cantores Taínos viajan desde Puerto Rico y la diáspora para afirmar su supervivencia, visibilidad y solidaridad con otras naciones indígenas. Su presencia refuta el mito histórico de la “extinción” Taína y afirma una cultura viva y en evolución.

La participación es ceremonial y contemporánea a la vez. Delegaciones Taínas forman parte del Grand Entry, cuando las naciones ingresan al círculo sagrado, señal de reconocimiento dentro del amplio mundo indígena. El intercambio cultural incluye danzas tradicionales —a menudo marcadas por el pisar del pie izquierdo para llamar a los ancestros— y artesanías “Nuevo Taíno” que integran formas ancestrales con herramientas modernas.

En 2026, el evento está programado para el cuarto fin de semana de abril y ha sido anunciado como el último en Albuquerque tras 43 años. La representación Taína suele coordinarse mediante la United Confederation of Taíno Peoples, que también defiende la visibilidad indígena en espacios internacionales. El mensaje es contundente: la cultura Taína continúa—presente, conectada y reconocida.
