SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:"Exhibit Celebration: Caribbean Indigenous Resistance: Taíno Live On! \/ Resistencia indígena del Caribe: ¡Taíno Vive!"
DESCRIPTION:"\rJoin us for a performance by La Escuelita Bombera De Corazón to celebrate our spring exhibit, Caribbean Indigenous Resistance: Taíno Live On! / Resistencia indígena del Caribe: ¡Taíno Vive! The performance will be followed by a reception catered by El Paraiso. \r\rThis exhibition tells the story of the Caribbean from the perspective of Indigenous survival and resistance. It is dedicated to affirming Taíno life and valuing Indigenous knowledge for the people of the Caribbean and beyond.\r\rThe interactive performance will give a comprehensive introduction to the oldest musical genre in Puerto Rico known as Bomba, established by the island's African descendants. La Escuelita Bombera de Corazón from Humboldt Park, Chicago, is a grassroots arts and music education organization founded by Ivelisse Diaz in 2009 with over 30 years of experience in Afro-Puerto Rican Bomba, committed to preserving, teaching, and performing Afro Puerto Rican music! \r\rCaribbean Indigenous Resistance: Taíno Live On! / Resistencia indígena del Caribe: ¡Taíno Vive! is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the National Museum of the American Latino. \r\rThis exhibition received federal support from the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the National Museum of the American Latino.\r\r\r\r\r  Cleopatra Tatabele, an Afro-Taíno powwow dancer and two-spirit person.
