The Core team members of Coki Yukayeke and Higuayagua Taino of the Caribbean have had a longstanding relationship for over 7 years. In 2020 Coki Yukayeke was invited to become a part of the Higuayagua Cazicazo. We continue to support each other in our common goal to educate the descendants of our Taino ancestors.
