Look up the gullah geechee people of South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Gullah geechee culture is an African American culture that kept black american culture alive. Most of the black american folktales come from the gullah geechee which they got from Africa💯

Actually your neice is right. We do have ancestry going back to Indigenous American because of the native on the land. But they were called the Arawaks before they were called the Tainos. Please look up the Arawaks history and how it relates. Also, we have the same percentage on the European side and British/Irish people who conquered over 700 islands. Not sure why yours did not say some percentage of Indegenous America but are related. I did 23andMe but I think Ancestry is more specific.

There are a lot f Jamaicans who have Taino ancestry, but in small percentages. It is part of our history and heritage too. My test didn't show it, but when I ran my data through several GED Match calculators it did show up. Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic show higher percentages because those islands were mostly left alone by Spain when they discovered gold in Mexico and Peru giving the population a chance to recover.

The unbiblical cord is NOT BROKEN, because we did not want to remain SLAVES so we kept running away OFF the plantations in the USA. They got tired of us running away ( too much money to spend to hunt us down and recapture us); so they shipped us off to Jamaica because the island is surrounded by the sea (no where to run). Hence the saying JAMAICANS are STUBBORN & WAYWARD; because they are DESCENDANTS of RUN A WAY SLAVES.

Because the black that were enslaved in Jamaica was actually Africans that travelled from Africa by their own accord. They were then enslaved in their own land. They told us they brung us to Jamaica as slaves to take away our claims to the land. But we are Africans that migrated.

The Caribbean must salute Jamaica for their efforts in maintaining the connection. They are historical basis for this but I guess we have to leave somethings to academia to research. But, we must not privatize the efforts of Haiti, Cuba, Suriname and lesser know places like Carriacou and Union Island just to name a few who held on to aspects of African cultural traditions up to this present time

If you do your research. Africans were transported to Jamaica as Slave labor. The original indigenous people were Taino Indian peoples under the rule of Spain. Also, African culture and traditions are not consistent with Jamaican culture, tradition or belifes. Additionally, Reggae Music is a movement influenced by the Rastafarian movement which began in the 1930's with the coronation of Halie Selassie from Ethiopia; the AFRICAN country reggae artist are singing about.

Okay ! Let’s fill in the gaps here there were stops along the line before the slave reached final destination the Americas . The indoctrination took place to break their spirits, minds and souls with torture and torment until they submitted and was surrounded in a foreign land . Jamaica and the Caribbean islands were stopping points. They some how manage to fight and keep their heritage, tradition and respect. Once you touched ground in the Americas the souls were torment caged lost and stripped of all outwards expressions connection to the Mother land Africa. The land of Africa and the lost children are being called to heal the wounds and return if they can to heal the ancestral line repair the ancestral tree. This is what we sense is coming.
