This is a reconstitution of a Tainos religious ceremony to the memories of the dead. / I captured it at the “Manatee National Park ” in Punta Cana Dominican Rep. Caribbean Island.First time I ever captured orbs in a photography! / This is 3 out of a series of 12 pictures I took during the religious ceremony, on the first in the series of 12 (not all posted) we can see the start of the elevations of the spirits of dead Tainos gradually rising from the artifact skeletons that are covered with a glass top inside a corded barrier for preservation and are in the ground in the middle center of the ceremony, in this picture we can very well and clearly see all of the hundreds of spirits that have raised from the tomb in the ground while the pinnacle of the ceremony was going on…(see the other post for the ending and conclusion of the ceremony) 5th in: TOP TEN finish in the Ghostly Images group’s “The Other Side” challenge! 17/APR/2009-was featured in Paranormal The Norm Thanks to the wonderful moderator and hosts for my first feature in this special group I really appreciate xoxoxo The skeletons and other artifacts more that 500 years old of the Tainos people where found in a archeological excavation of the village that was in the past, on the terrain of the Manatee National Park Preserve. The Taínos were pre-Colombian inhabitants of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles. It is believed that the seafaring Taínos were relatives of the Arawakan people of South America. Their language is a member of the Maipurean linguistic family, which ranges from South America across the Caribbean. At the time of Columbus’s arrival in 1492, there were five Taíno kingdoms and territories on Hispaniola (modern day Dominican Republic and Haiti), each led by a principal Cacique (chieftain), to whom tribute was paid. As the hereditary head chief of Taíno tribes, the cacique was paid significant tribute. Caciques enjoyed the privilege of wearing golden pendants called guani, living in square bohíos instead of the round ones the villagers inhabited, and sat on wooden stools when receiving guests. At the time of the Spanish conquest, the largest Taíno population centers may have contained over 3,000 people each. The Taínos were historical neighbors and enemies of the fierce Carib tribes, another group with origins in South America who lived principally in the Lesser Antilles. The relationship between the two groups has been the subject of much study. This photo as is , taken with my Photosmart HP R927 camera, NO enhancement watch so ever!

This descendant of the Tainos people took part in the ceremony that you can see in the 2 other pictures I posted in this series about the spirits orbs. This is was a reconstitution of a Tainos religious Spanish,conquest, ceremony to the memories of the dead I captured it at the “Manatee National Park ” in Punta Cana Dominican Rep. Caribbean Island. / This is a series of about 12 pictures I took during the religious ceremony, on the first (not posted) we can clearly see the start of the elevations of the spirits of dead Tainos gradually rising from the middle of the artifact skeletons that are covered with a glass top inside a corded barrier for preservation and are in the ground in the middle center of the ceremony, in this picture we can very well and clearly see all of the hundreds of spirits that have raised from the tomb in the ground while the pinnacle of the ceremony was going on… The skeletons and other artifacts more that 500 years old of the Tainos people where found in a archeological excavation of the village that was in the past, on the terrain of the Manatee National Park Preserve.

This is almost at the end of the ceremony there are still a couple of spirits left , they are slowly re-integrating the tomb, the last photo (not posted) of the ceremony is clear of spirit.

This is what three explorers discovered at the bottom of a Taino shaft

This is a 36×48 oil painting representative of the first two Queens of the Americas ( the new world) named Anacaona and Yuisa. Anacaona was Haiti’s Queen And Yuisa was Puerto Rico’s Queen. the Taino’s were the very first Native Americans to greet and meet Mr. Christopher Columbus in 1492 and the “NEW WORLD” was in fact at the time of discovery, the Caribbean. Lady’s and Gentlemen I introduce to you Queen Yuisa First of two Queens of the Americas at the time of Conquest. This is how they looked, and this is their actual regalia. The chair, diety on her neck and diety on the floor, maraca, is their actual artistic work not mine. The leaves on the floor are cohoba leaves used as an hallucinagic for prophectic visions. The big Gold disc were only worn by the chief’s(caciques),and the Spaniards used that as a target for shooting them when identified among a crowd. To this day they are extinct but their descendents live on, I know because my DNA bears witness to that. Thank you for looking. —-Sonia291

This is another of my Native American Taino Portraits. The red in the background symbolizes the blood that was shed at the time of the conquest in the hands of Christopher Columbus. The clouds represents our memory of them which will forever be in our hearts. And the Jaguar is standing by as their protector. The Chief is standing by in an authority position daring you to a ceremonial game of “Batey” hence the traditonal stone worn on his waist in preparation for the game. “Batey” was a form of “Socker” in those days and the stone worn around their waist was used to kick off the ball. The Arawaks called themselves “Tainos” meaning “Peace and Noble “peoples. They never believed in wars and their Faith was mother Earth and venerated all the creatures of the Earth. Thank you for looking.—-sonia291
