Do the Taíno still exist?

While many aspects of Taíno culture were wiped out in the decades following the arrival of the Spanish in the Caribbean, genetic studies in the 21st century have shown that Taíno genetics persist in modern Caribbean populations. Several groups claiming Taíno descent gained visibility in the late 20th century, notably in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. state of Florida. These groups remain without official recognition in any country.
