The Connecticut House of Representatives adopted the H.R. 10 as it was read on the House floor this year. It underscores the enduring influence of the Taíno people and their intersection with Latino cultural identity.
This is a time to celebrate Taíno customs and traditions while also recognizing the injustices they've endured and continue to fight to this day. Our resolution is a commitment to acknowledge and honor Indigenous cultures while standing with sovereign nations.
