Prophecy & Resilience No discussion of historical wounds is complete without mutual compassion and respect in the present and a vision of healing for the future. No discussion of Colonialism is complete without including Taíno and Indigenous Caribbean who were the very first to be visited by Columbus (in some cases 1-200 years before other tribes encountered colonialism). No discussion of Indigenous history is complete without acknowledging dark, melanated, black, maroon, & mixed African Natives
