I thought that pinar de rio was where guanahatabey people were from. Did siboney intersect with them in the west of the isle?

People from the western regions of Cuba such as Pinar del Río, Artemisa, Matanzas, and Mayabeque—collectively referred to as Occidente de Cuba—often have both Taíno and Guanahatabey DNA. Historically, it is possible that some Taíno people intermarried with Guanahatabey individuals during pre-Columbian times, although these unions were not documented since the Taíno and Guanahatabey did not have a written language . Additionally, it is likely that Taíno people lived in Havana, which is also part of Guanahatabey territory. The mixing of the Guanahatabey and Taíno populations increased significantly during the Spanish colonization, as the Guanahatabey population declined sharply, leading them to assimilate into Spanish, African, Taíno, and various mixed populationsI took AncestryDNA and found that I have Indigenous Americas ancestry, specifically from the Yucatán Peninsula and indigenous Cuba (with Taino DNA as the reference group for that ancestry). It's possible that my ancestral line includes a Maya ancestor who was taken into slavery by Spanish colonizers Perhaps an ancestor mixed with the Taino people pre-Columbian, but the Guanahatabey also originated from the Yucatán Peninsula, as Yucatán and Western Cuba are very close, While Pinar Del Rio is known as Guanahatabey Land, it may have also been inhabited by the Taíno people. Even if it wasn't directly occupied by the Taíno, indigenous Cubans from that region of western Cuba share both Guanahatabey and Taíno DNA

Outside of Cuba, Palo is generally called Palo Mayombe ; however, this is a misnomer since not all lineages and houses are truly Mayombe – in fact, most are not. To my knowledge there is only one (perhaps a couple) Munanzo outside of Cuba that are accepted as a true Mayombe houses amongst the elders on the Island.

In Cuba, “Palo Monte” is used far more frequently to speak to the entire body of Regla-Kongo Palo tradition. Other terms such as Palo Cruzado (‘crossed palo’, denoting heavy syncretization with other religions), Palo Cristiano (‘Christian palo’) and Palo Judio (‘Jewish palo’, not actually jewish, but simply non-Christian) deserve a brief mention. However, these are not specific ramas of Palo, but rather terms that are used to denote the degree of syncretism and mixing in individual lineages and practices.

There are many houses (munansos) and foundational lineages (ramas) of Palo Monte, but commonly they are understood to fit within three major  forms or sub ‘reglas’ within the greater Regla-Kongo:

Mayombe

Biyumba (Vrillumba o Brillumba)

Kimbiza

Palo Mayombe is the oldest and most orthodox form of Palo. The origins trace back to a specific Nkisi cult in the Mayombe region of Cabinda (NW Congo) from where it gets its name and the tradition came into its own in the caves and wilderness of the Pinar del Rio highlands of Cuba. Mayomberos typically shun away from syncretism and are extremely orthodox in our practices. The most well known of the Mayombe houses are the houses of “Batalla Saca Empeño” and “Bejuco Nfinda”.

Palo Biyumba developed out of Palo Mayombe and rose in popularity during Cuba’s war of Independence. It was the first regla to initiate people of non-Bantu ancestry and frequently worked with and developed pacts with dead spirits of no particular blood or spiritual lineage (often times to send them out for warring intentions). It is a vast regla and has many ramas and sub-lineages. Indeed, a great number of houses today are some offshoot of Biyumba. Broadly speaking, Palo Biyumba is more oriented toward the various mpungos and over time some lineages have introduced a degree of syncretization with elements of Ocha and Catholicism.

Palo Kimbisa was popular on the eastern side of the Cuban island and has absorbed many influences from Catholicism to Freemasonry to Haitian Vodou. Kimbisa likely originated within an already syncretized Catholic-Kongo religious tradition from the Kingdom of Kongo following Kimpa Vita’s Christian reform in the 18th C. In Kimbisa the mpungos are paramount and are seen as divinities and saints. Thus, Kimbiseros will venerate the mpungos and focus much of their work calling upon them, instead of upon the dead. The most well known Kimbisa rama is Andrés Petit’s La Regla Kimbisa de Santo Cristo del Buen Viaje.

The Kimbisa prendas/ngangas I have seen also tend to be huge in comparison to Mayombe. Although my elders have reassured me that there are Kimbisa prendas that are built almost identical to Mayombe as there is more variance per house/lineage than across the greater sub-reglas. It is also common to see Kimbisa (as well as Briyumba) prendas with crucifixes. Moreover, many Kimbiseros and Biymberos will make a distinction between prendas judias or prendas ndoki(those without crucifixes and containing the bones of non-baptized individuals) used to curse, kill, and other malefica; and prendas cristianas (with cross and baptized nfumbe) used to heal and general benefica. This distinction does not appear in Mayombe.

I have a question? Let’s say if a Cuban spiritualist was from Pinar del Rio and they have indigenous ancestry however sources say the Ciboney Taino inhabited Pinar del Rio and other sources say the Guanahatabey inhabited Pinar del Rio and other sources say both inhabited land, then which source should that person trust? And do we have information on the Guanahatabey spirituality?

Hey! This will be a long answer about Indigenous Caribbean Identity so check below the cut for more!🌺🌴🐠🦜🌀🦩🥭🍋‍🟩🥥

This is a complex question. I would say the biggest thing to remember is that the term “Taíno” is an umbrella term to reference many different ethnicities of Arawak-Speaking Indigenous Caribbeans. There were many types of Taíno people, including Timucua and Tequesta in Florida, Lucayo in the Bahamas, Ciguayo in Kiskeya and Igneri in Boriken.

As for the term Ciboney, some say it was a separate tribe but the general consensus is that they were a Taíno ethnicity with a separate but mutually intelligible language. They were connected culturally to groups from Jamaica, Florida, Bahamas and modern day Haiti, where as Taínos of the eastern Caribbean were closer in culture. They also had language connections to the Macorix and Guanahatabeys being Waroid languages, aka where we get the term Guajiro. So the Ciboney are a Taino-Arawak group that had ancestrally mixed with the Waroid Guanahatabeys but still maintained moslty Taíno culture.

There were also many other groups who weren’t Taíno. The most well known is the Kalinago, but the Guanahatabey is one from Cuba that is also known to actually have been in Cuba BEFORE the Taínos got there. They had a culture very similar to the Calusa of Southwest Florida. And this is all pre-Colonization, so these groups were already interacting and moving around for thousands of years.

Then with colonization, many Native groups were transported to other places, and in Cuba specifically we have Taíno migrations from the East to the West very early on. We also have Natives from Florida and Mayans from Mexico, and more natives being brought in to cuba and intermarrying with other ethnic groups. These migrations all affected indigenous communities and led to alot of cultural exchange and mixture, as well as loss.

As for Indigenous Cuban Identity, I claim Taíno or Ciboney Taíno because after colonization any remaining Guanahatabeys were assimilated to Taíno Cimarron (maroon/runaway) groups. I consider Guanahatabeys part of my ancestors but I choose to identify as Taíno or simply Indigenous Caribbean. My family all identify as Guajiros, as do I, which is more a lifestyle but definitely has ties to the Classic Taino, Ciboney and Guanahatabey traditions passed down.

As for trusting sources, I would say read EVERYTHING with a grain of salt. Academics often lack cultural nuance and understanding, which can mean alot of their inferences are flat out wrong so try to stick with confirmed info. It is confirmed the Tainos and Guanahatabeys and Ciboneys all moved around and lived in the same parts of the Island at the same time and separately. As for non-academic sources, just be aware that much of what is passed off as Taino or Indigenous Caribbean culture is actually just Pan-Indigenous or straight up a different culture.

Trust yourself, use your intuition and discernment and always be committed to improving and striving for a culturally authentic, fulfilling and respectful practice that is well rounded in both Spirituality and Community! Whether that is with a yukayeke, with the Indigenous tribes you live near locally or with your own indigenous family and friends! So many Yukayekes in the Modern Taíno community try to claim superiority or that they have all the secrets knowledge and the only correct beliefs. You should be weary of anyone trying to restrict you when their own elders often are reconnecting or were just scholars before becoming pop-up Caciques.

If you go to the Cuban version of Wikipedia, when it is active, you can find better information on the Guanahatabey and Ciboney than on American wiki. Try researching the terms ‘Guayabo Blanco’ and ‘Cayo Redondo’ for information on Ciboney culture and beliefs, and how even within this sub-group there were MORE sub-groups. As the Guanahatabeys were not a ceramic culture, we have very little info on them academically. Try researching Calusa beliefs as they had similar environments and were connected through trade routes.

If you have any more questions I would love to answer them but you should ask them on insta or in chat so I can link easier and answer in more depth!!

My asks are always open still tho :)

Hurricane Rafael hit Cuba as Category 3 storm

Hurricane Rafael hit Cuba as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday, causing the national power grid to collapse and leaving the country in darkness. The storm brought winds of up to 185 kilometres per hour and torrential rains to the island, disrupting an energy system that was already in a critical state.

The US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said “life-threatening storm surge, damaging hurricane-force winds and flash flooding” were expected in western Cuba. Cuba’s capital, Havana, about 75km from the hurricane’s centre, was hit by the storm, suffering wind gusts and torrential rains that snapped power lines and felled trees.

Cuba’s state electricity operator UNE said the hurricane had completely knocked out the national electricity system, leaving all 10 million of the island’s residents without power. State television confirmed it was the second major outage in recent months. The country was also hit by a major outage in October, leading to a critical shortage of resources.

Cuba prepares for flooding and collapses in Havana amid hurricane warning

A hurricane warning has been issued for Havana, home to about 2 million people. Police patrols are urging residents to take shelter in safe places as the storm rages. Schools are closed and flights at Jose Marti International Airport and popular resorts such as Varadero and Cayo Largo have been cancelled until further notice. More than 100 Canadian tourists have been evacuated from the island of Cayo Largo, which was also hit by the hurricane.

In the hurricane’s path were the agricultural areas of Artemis and Pinar del Rio, which grow tobacco for Cuba’s famous hand-rolled cigars. Cuban Agriculture Minister Ydael Pérez Brito said farmers were taking measures to protect 8,000 tonnes of tobacco and other crops such as ripening fruits and vegetables that are also threatened.

This is a particularly difficult time for Cuba, as the country’s energy sector is already suffering due to outdated fuel oil-fuelled power plants. Problems have been exacerbated by dwindling oil supplies from Venezuela, Russia and Mexico. In October, Hurricane Oscar slammed through the eastern part of the island, which, along with power outages at the time, critically damaged Cuba’s infrastructure.

Forecasters report that Hurricane Rafael will soon head towards the western Gulf of Mexico. However, the forecast of its further movement remains uncertain, and experts continue to monitor changes in its trajectory in order to timely warn the population of neighbouring territories about the threat.

Recipe for Classic Cuban Midnight Medianoche Sandwich One of the more well-known sandwiches to originate from the island of Cuba is this one. My uncle, who formerly worked at a restaurant in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, and currently works at a Cuban cafeteria in Miami, gave me this recipe. The perfect accompaniment to this sandwich is a cold mamey milkshake and some fried plantain chips!
