Awareness that ongoing cultural change occurs in many simultaneous directions and that trans-cultural shifts manifest in numerous ways is crucial for any diasporic population to continually consider and include in their understanding and retelling of history. Archaeologist, Bernardo Vega, will provide an insightful lecture that examines the influence of Taino traditions in Dominican contemporary culture.
