“It really just clicked that this is nuts, like, the grace that they extended to say ‘no, you are a relative,’ was really formative for me. While we may not be and come from the same exact lineage, there is a commonality to that ancestry. And it’s important for us to recognize that we were raised and we were told growing up that we were extinct, that Tainos don’t exist, and it’s really important for Puerto Ricans to understand that that narrative is being challenged right now.”
Why, yes. Native Americans, especially of the Southern variety, have such fond memories of the name Cortez.

What a wonderful story.
I’ll be sure to remember it as gas is $4-$7 a gallon at the pumps. 🙄🙄🙄
Someone should tell her the Betachuchi Lizard has ties to her indigenous spirit and if she meditates on it for 6 hours a day the Lizard Spirit will connect with her.
Another Pocahontas?
Spelled ignoramus wrong
Maybe her and Elizabeth Warren can go to a teepee retreat and meditate together and commune with nature or something.
Yes, the Taino of the Caribbean had so much in common with the Indians of the American Great Plains. Kind of like my Danish ancestors have with the people of Sicily.
Growing up, I didn’t even know Puerto Ricans could look as white as AOC. Taina my ass.
Which heritage? The slavers or the heart cutters?
My friend just bought a nice Bayliner boat.
Huh. And all this time I thought her “indigenous heritage” was that of a scum-sucking pig or maybe a warthog.
She thinks she dances with wolves
Be sure to remember your heritage as you open the smoke hole in your tipi. Those buffalo chip fumes can be really noxious if you forget to do that.
Cortez, Spaniard? Slaves in Cuba? That heritage?
Explains a lot, being related to the faux squaw.
She is a wack job so it makes sense she is descended from the Arawak.
Whatta laff.
She looks like the dominant Spaniard upper class from Puerto Rico. I know more then a few women from there who look like her sisters. And they weren’t poor. Or “indigenous”.
She might have a few molecules of Taino DNA from an errant ancestor who strayed off the plantation for some fun. But that’s it. The upper class didn’t do the mixing thing. That’s what made them upper class.
She’s from the brutal Spaniard overseer class, the exploiters of the Southern Americas and especially the Caribbean. But they lost to the White Anglos, so now they claim Victimhood as if they were the very people they oppressed.
