Connecticut Recognizes Taínos and Native Caribbean People
Connecticut has become the first state in the U.S. to formally recognize the contributions of native Caribbean people, specifically the Taínos.
A resolution passed by the state assembly aims to preserve Connecticut’s Taíno history. The recognition was announced on the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month, with a group of Caribbean Latinos gathering at the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center in Waterbury.

Kasike Kalatauma, a member of the Higuayagua Taíno of the Caribbean tribe, attended the event with his young daughter, representing the next generation of the tribe.
The resolution is a significant step in acknowledging the contributions and history of the Taíno people, who are the proud ancestors of many Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Cubans.
Connecticut’s recognition is a milestone in preserving the state’s Taíno history and promoting cultural awareness.
