THE TAINOS MOOR TRIBE AND IT TRUTH​

​

I asked of AI if it is possible,   That my people Taino Arawakans came to the main land of Florida  please read on see what AI replied;  "Chief, yes — it’s very possible  (and historically reasonable) that Taínos and other Caribbean island aboriginal indigenous peoples moved back and forth into South Florida by Canoe & Sail Ships  and through trade routes, especially once you zoom out and see Florida + the islands as one connected “sea-road” world.

A lot of the “book-worm” minds struggle to overstand what a DNA download really is—how Spirit can awaken memory, purpose, even the truth of reincarnation and lineage.

They told our people we were “wiped out,” “no longer here.” That lie is designed to place us in a deep hypnosis—programmed to only believe the history written by the same ones who raped our ancestors, stole the gold, burned the books, took the land, then labeled us “Indians” under the color of law.

But here’s the aha moment: we are still here. Our bloodline speaks. Our spirit speaks. We can still see, hear, and feel the truth of our people—because the truth doesn’t need permission to exist.

Someone once asked me, “Who made you Chief?”
My reply: I was bestowed Chief of the Mainland Taíno of Florida while I was still in my mother’s womb—by my Father God, Allah. I AM who I say I AM. This mission was placed on my shoulders by the Great God Allah.

And understand this—when Allah gives you a vision, that’s not imagination. That’s assignment. When Allah gives you a gift, that’s not luck. That’s authority. When Allah gives you a DNA download, you start to remember your place, your time, and exactly what you came here to Mother Gaia to do.

This is remembrance. This is restoration. This is our return.

​

Now Here’s the clean, grounded foundation (documented), outline that frames Miami as the Spirit Portal.

What’s documented and supports your story;  "Chief Resul Bey." 

    •    Miami/Biscayne Bay was a major Indigenous hub long before modern Miami. The Tequesta built and lived around the mouth of the Miami River (Miami Circle area), positioned between the river, Biscayne Bay, and the Everglades—perfect for travel, trade, fishing, and gathering.  

    •    South Florida nations like the Calusa were elite maritime people with big canoe culture and wide influence/trade.  

    •    The Calusa are specifically described as traveling as far as Cuba by dugout canoe (that’s a direct bridge across the water in the record).  

    •    Researchers describe the Caribbean as an “aquatic highway”—Indigenous communities moving and exchanging across islands using maritime routes (pottery studies are one line of evidence).  

    •    The Florida Keys sat in the middle of routes between Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas; “Keys Indians” is often used as a broad label for peoples connected to Calusa/Tequesta activity in the Keys.  

So your “90 miles / island-to-mainland” idea isn’t wild at all: the geography invites movement, and the record shows South Florida peoples were moving far and trading far.

Tribes/peoples they traded with and mixed with in the Florida corridor

South Florida / Peninsula

    •    Tequesta (Biscayne Bay / Miami River)  

    •    Calusa (SW Florida + influence into the Keys; major sea power)  

    •    Jaega (north of Tequesta along the southeast coast; commonly named as neighbors in the region)  

    •    Ais (Treasure Coast / east coast region; part of the broader network)

    •    Mayaimi (Lake Okeechobee region — inland connection to coastal routes; often appears in South Florida context)  

    •    Later layers: Seminole & Miccosukee presence becomes prominent in the historic period (especially after earlier South Florida groups were disrupted).  

Caribbean side of the water-

    •    Taíno (Greater Antilles) as the big Arawakan civilization of the region  

    •    Lucayan (Bahamas; culturally related to Taíno)  

    •    Western Cuba also had distinct Indigenous groups historically (often discussed in Caribbean Indigenous summaries).  

​

​

The untold story outline:

“Miami, the Spirit Portal”

 "Taino Moor Tribe"- Narrative: 

Prologue — The Sea Is a Road

Before borders, before paperwork, the ancestors read currents like maps. The Caribbean wasn’t a barrier; it was a highway—canoe -ships routes, trade winds, moon cycles, and star paths.  

​

Act I — The Crossing

From Cuba, Borikén (Puerto Rico), Jamaica, Ayiti (Haiti), Quisqueya (Santo Domingo), and the Bahamas, skilled mariners follow the chain of stepping-stones:

island → reef → shoal → Keys → Biscayne Bay.

They come for fish runs, salt, shells, safe water, medicinal plants, and alliances.

Act II — The Keys: The First Gate

The Florida Keys aren’t “the end of the land”—they’re the doorway. The Keys sit right in the flow of movement between Florida and the islands; people come through, camp, trade, repair canoes, and exchange news.  

Act III — Biscayne Bay: Where Nations Meet

Then they reach the place that feels like it was built to receive travelers:

the mouth of the Miami River—fresh water meeting salt water, Everglades behind it, reefs in front of it. This is a natural “customs house” of the old world.

The Tequesta homeland becomes a meeting ground—food, tools, ceremony, diplomacy.  

Act IV — The Trade: More Than Goods, It’s Agreements

Trade isn’t just objects—it’s relationships:

    •    shells, fish, nets, carved wood, herbs

    •    stories, songs, marriages, languages, spiritual rites

    •    alliances for safe passage

And out west, the Calusa sea-power stretches influence; record even describes travel as far as Cuba—meaning the “islands ↔ Florida” loop is real.  

Act V — The Portal: Why Miami Feels Different

Your spiritual framing lands strong here because Miami is literally a threshold place:

    •    river meets ocean

    •    fresh meets salt

    •    land meets water

    •    Everglades meets reef

That “in-between” geography is exactly where many Indigenous traditions place portals—places where messages travel easiest, where spirits speak loudest, where destiny shifts.

Act VI — The Hidden Continuity

Then come the hard centuries—missions, removals, slavery, disease, displacement, renaming. The public record often fragments the Indigenous story, but the bloodlines, the memory, and the spirit keep moving. People blend: Florida nations, island nations, later arrivals—building a living survival line.

Act VII — Now: The Village Returns

And now the story flips: the “portal” isn’t just a place people pass through. It becomes a place people return to—a real village on the mainland, homes with greenhouses and gardens, roofs crowned red like ancestral fire, and a people telling the truth of their own timeline.

Letter From The Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation To All Native American Tribes And Nations

ishgooda Mon, 18 Oct 1999 10:24:13 -0700

And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Reply-To: "Office of Taino Tribal Affairs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Office of Taino Tribal Affairs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PRESS RELEASE: OCTOBER 12, 1999 Letter From The Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation, To: All Native American Tribes And Nations. : The Taino Tribal Council of Jatibonicu' : US Regional Tribal Affairs Office : 703 South Eight Street : Vineland New Jersey 08360 : : October 12,1999 Tau Ah Taiguey Adanatiao, Hello and Good Day to All Our Relatives, We bid you a warm greeting from The Jatibonicu Taino Tribe, its Telcesta Florida Tribal Band, the Taino People, and its' Nation. I will speak my heart so that all of my relatives will understand that I, Guanikeyu (Noble Bird of The White Earth), Principal Chief of The Taino Tribe speaks the truth in the eyes of our Creator the Great Spirit. It has been 507 years since our Taino National Homeland of the Caribbean, Bahama Islands and Florida were invaded and overthrown by the Spanish Europeans in 1493. As peaceful people, we stood by and observed the destruction of our Atabey (Mother Earth) and our ancestral ceremonial grounds. With chains on our hands and feet, we stood alone without the power to protect ourselves. The souls of the Taino people cried out in pain and anguish as our daughters were being raped and our people became the victims of mass genocide. A conservative estimate of three to six million Tainos died due to the intentional introduction of many new European diseases. Our ancestral blood fell upon our land like rain drops into a red river of blood, that was caused by the Spaniard's Bull Mastiff hunting dogs and their bloody Toledo swords. Many of our relatives of other Native American Nations do not remember our Taino People, the first nation to encounter Columbus on the morning of October 12, 1492, in the Caribbean Bahama Island of Guanahani (San Salvador). We have been waiting patiently for the completion of our Taino 500 year prophecy. The prophecy states that we the Taino people would reemerge after 500 years as a proud and noble Nation. This would come to pass within our traditional homelands in the sixth generation of our Arocoels (Elders or grandparents) in the year 1993. Presently, The Taino Jatibonicu (Great People of the Sacred High Waters) Tribe and its Tekesta (People of the Good Earth) Tribal Band of Bimini (Mother of Many Waters, the original name of Florida in the Taino language) must beg to our relatives of the other Tribes and Nations to come to our aid. Our Taino ceremonial grounds in Bimini has fallen into the hands of a group of private business people. We have been in a struggle to reaffirm and preserve our traditional Taino cultural heritage within our Bimini and Circum- Caribbean Island homeland. Our Tekesta Taino Tribal Band of Bimini Florida, currently is struggling to help gather the needed funding of 8.7 million dollars to buy back one of the most sacred and ancient ceremonial grounds found within North America. This site is better known in the local Florida newspapers, as The Miami Circle. It seems that a local business person, insensitive to our native spirituality, would like to destroy our sacred ceremonial center. He plans to built a new high rise apartment complex upon the bones of our ancestors. The Miami Circle is known to our people as the Navel of Amikekia (name of Turtle Island or America in the Taino language). This Taino ancestral ceremonial site belongs to all the indigenous people of the Americas. According to The Taino Book of Prophecies, the destruction of this sacred site by the Guamikena (The Covered People, name give by the Tainos to the Europeans) would come to trigger a natural disaster as never seen on Turtle Island since the dawn of its creation. This is prophesied to happen in the seventh generation on or about the year 2005. We can humbly say that our Taino Jatibonicu Tribe and its two tribal Bands are the poorest of the Tribal Nations of Turtle Island. As you already know, all our tribal homelands were lost to the past European colonial powers. We, further, must inform our brothers and sisters that within sixty days we must find a way to buy back our land from this Guamikena business man located in Dade County southern Florida. Our Tribe has never begged nor asked anything from our relatives of Turtle Island. We must stress upon our relatives the importance of preserving this sacred site. The destruction of this site will effect all our families here on Turtle Island. We ask that you open your hearts to the pleas of our Tribe and its Band here in Florida. We ask that you share, in the matum (generosity) Native American way, of sharing whatever money your Tribes and Nations can spare to aid us in this most noble struggle to preserve our past indigenous heritage. It is sad to see in this day and age that what is sacred to the indigenous people is not respected by some people. It is unfortunate that the value of our ancestral heritage and indigenous spirituality is not respected by some. The only value these people seem to have in their hearts is money and power. It seems that, they enjoy running over, native people, fish and foul and breaking up the Sacred Wheel of our Native American way of life. It is also sad to note that we as Native Americans, must now be forced to buy back our own lands and sacred sites. We hope and pray to the Creator that our brothers and sisters of Turtle Island will not abandon us in this time of need. We are all one Nation of Amikekia also known as The Caguama (The Great Mother Sea Turtle).
