Part of the Cuba government facilitated Saturday 26th November 2022 meeting, between myself and the son and 3 female relatives of the last living Taino Chief in Cuba - Kasike Panchito of Caridad de los Indios. The Translator is my actor - Francisco Santamaria Cubilla - who played the role of the Spanish Conquistador Diego Velazquez - hence he is wearing the Conquistador armor from my film, which we also donated to the Matachin Museum in Baracoa, Cuba.
After I expressed my love for them and my solidarity with them they, thanked me for making the Guama Documentary movie, and then I presented them with some gifts from myself and the Embera actors in the movie.
I gave the Chief's Son (Vladimir Ramirez Ramirez, 46) the necklace worn in the movie by the actor playing the role of his ancestor Guama in my film, it was made by Guainia Taino Tribe Chief Maekiaphan Phillips of the US Virgin Islands - who had gifted it to me, but I wanted it to be featured in the movie and then I felt it was more powerfully gifted to the last Taino Chief in Cuba, from the hands of one Taino Chief to another. Of the 3 ladies, the eldest Taina present was Yuleidi Castillo Ramirez (39) the niece of Kasike Panchito, next in seniority present was Mariulkis Soler Ramirez (34), granddaughter of Kasike Panchito, and the youngest was her little sister Ingrid Duverger Ramirez (15) - another granddaughter of Kasike Panchito.
