The T.A.I.N.O SEAL
The Organization Seal transcends its role as a mere emblem; it embodies a timeless legacy infused with profound historical and spiritual significance. It is a sacred representation of our heritage, purpose, and values. Explore the narrative below to uncover the deeper meaning and eternal essence woven into our organization's seal.

This Seal is the organization's Seal and does not represent any existing official Great Seal of the Taino.
The Taino American Indigenous National Organization seal uses the tribal name "Taino" as an acronym "T.A.I.N.O" flanked by two feathers to symbolize protection and strength. In Taino culture, feathers are used to represent blessing and protection. Hence, the centerpiece of a typical "headdress, or "War Bonnet," is typically made primarily with Golden Eagle feathers that have been blessed and gifted by the Chief or Medicine Man for acts of valor or war deeds. Along the lower section of the seal, each symbol represents other important elements that Taino valued and believed in. The far left symbol is "Trigonolito," the God of Fertility. The "Guey" is the Taino symbol for the sun; we believe the Guey is the source of all creation and life. It is typically also known to mean "Good Luck" or "Strength". In the lower center is the "Atabey," believed to be the supreme Goddess with several meanings, all equally important to Taino Life. It means earth, fresh water, and life. She stands at the center of all—Taino existence. The spiral-like symbol, sometimes known as "Triskele," means balance. Taino believes that balance must exist and be practiced throughout life. The kissing bird "Kranes" means eternal love. , and family. Because of this love and realization of a family structure, everything grown or killed for survival belonged to the entire tribe. At the center of it all is the iteration of the Great Seal. (See Official Seal explanation on the About Us page). By incorporating these symbols into our organizational seal, We believe the organization is protected and will flourish to honor and keep our people from being forgotten, dismissed, or minimized. We exist, we matter, and we have value.
