Abstract
This article considers the sources of knowledge and frameworks of knowing from which Puerto Rican Taíno draw in order to support their identification as Taíno. Widespread, authoritative historical narratives of the Caribbean claim that the Taíno population was decimated between the 16th and 18th centuries. This analysis highlights the role that prophetic narratives and communicative strategies played in reframing and recalibrating Taíno historical tellings and in the refashioning of personal trajectories of social actors as Taíno.
