After introductions, the frrst presenter was Dr. Jose Barreiro, who co-produced Taino Indigenous Survival in Cuba. Dr. Barreiro's video highlighted Talno cultural survival in Guajiro (rural) folk of the Oriente (eastern) Province of Cuba. The main focus was the existence of an extended family of contemporary Taino people who are working to revitalize their ancestral culture in the region. The family head, Franciso "Panchito" Ramirez was interviewed and his clan displayed dances and songs. When asked why he inade the video, Barreiro responded, "video is a way to record reality because despite the extinction story, the people of this region have been well documented over the last hundred years.

Mr. Jorge Estevez, producer of De Donde Soy Yo, expressed a similar concern about recording reality and the tradition of the campo (rural life). The video, dedicated to and featuring his mother and grandmother, gave a perspective of Taino cultural survival from the Dominican Republic. Ms. Luz Patria Estevez displayed the traditional way to pi-epare yuca, and she gave an overview of Taino oral traditions, and vocabulary words still ueed from pre-Columbian times. Mr. Estevez, encouraged all to record their family traditions.

Mr. Taino Aimestica and Mr. Gypsie Running Cloud, the co-producers of An Indigenous Bootleg Network, presented excerpts from three programs focusing on different aspects of contemporary Taino expression in the United States and Puerto Rico. Their video featured an interview with Taino artistsan, Melanio Gonzalez, and his choice of adapting the Navajo medium of sand painting to express Taino art. The second clip focused on Taino Poets like Ms. Magda Martas who gave a moving version of her work. The final clip featured a sojourn to the island of Boriken which ended highlighting the Taino inspired art work of Miguel Guzinan. The producers noted the importance of keeping tradition and they reminded the audience that in Puerto Rico the term "Indian" is still generally seen as derogatory.

Although the presentations were informative, public attendance was extremely poor in comparison to past Taino related events held at El Museo. This was most likely due to the lack of advertisement of this program - unfoitunate as this was apparently the last component of the Taino Exhibition.

Taino organizations with representatives in attendance included: UCTP member organizations; Consejo General de Tainos Borincanos, Cacibajagua, Presencia Taina, and Baramaya. Representatives of the Nacion Taina organization were also present.
