(REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
unmoderated group soc.culture.taino
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the
unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, soc.culture.taino
NEWSGROUPS LINE: soc.culture.taino
soc.culture.taino Taino Arawak, Carib cultures of Caribbean, & South
America.
RATIONALE: soc.culture.taino
We are aware that there are some soc.culture newsgroups that may only cover
the view point based upon a eurocentric hispanic-latino, Southern American
stereotypes of our social culture and its people. Yet these groups do not
relate directly to our indigenous culture nor do they promote, the
educational,
social cultural, linguistic, political and economic development, values and
interests of the our modern day Taino Arawak and Carib indigenous people
of the Circum Caribbean, Florida and the South American Amazonian rainforest
cultures. For this reason we propose to establish a newsgroup and forum for
discussion of the political and economic development of our Taino Arawak
and Carib nations.
CHARTER:
soc.culture.taino will be a discussion forum for all indigenous people of
the Americas and around the world to meet and discuss topics of interest to
the Amerindian people of the circum Caribbean islands and the Amazonian
Rainforest. Their rites, beliefs, values, histories, Native American
languages, spirituality practices of their ethnic cultures. The term Taino
is
defined as the Good And Noble People. These being the ancient roots of the
Caribbean and South Americans known collectively as Arawak and Carib
nations. Only discussions relating directly to the cultures of these
indigenous
Amerindian peoples will be discussed along with other related indigenous
cultures of the world.
