This program is designed to provide a comprehensive over view of Cuban ethnogenesis, focusing principally on the pre-contact, post-contact and living First Nations cultures of Cuba. The conference provides an opportunity to gather descendants of Taino culture from the eastern region of Cuba as well as Puerto Rico and the United States. The program will also explore other elements of the ethnognesis including the Indigenous, AfroCuban, AfroCaribbean and Spanish contributions to the country. The program participants will explore culture and social transformation in Cuba through conferences, professional exchanges and visits. Special access will be arranged for visits to restricted access archaeological sites and venues with Cuban specialists.
