The Smithsonian organization has countless members of the ruling elite, and they do what they think they should do. Actually, Puerto Rico does not have the proper operational facility to properly care for these sacred objects. The UCTP worked with Ponce's elected official- Representative Victor Vassallo to utilize available federal dollars attached to the $800 Million dollar US Army Corp Engineers project damming the Portuguese River, which flooded the Caribbean's largest Indigenous Ceremonial Park- Jacanas. We hoped to develop a large educational research facility along the banks of the newly formed lake that would feature the necessary temperature/ humidity controls to house the artifacts under the correct conditions. The federal govt allows 10% set aside of federally projects affecting indigenous communities expressing desire to continue their cultural practices- by law. Unfortunately, the PR gov't didn't take our idea serious enough to act on it. Consequently they dissempowered us at the starting gate, while offering nothing of their own to create the proper repository to care for Boriken's Indigenous National Patrimony.
@@presenciataina1120 Ah yes, of course! 50,000 artifacts that have managed to stay preserved/untouched on the island for thousands of years cannot be properly stored on the island. Not only that, but it is the PR governments fault because of their refusal to cooperate with the US govt. Isn’t PR a common wealth? Couldn’t the US easily establish a repository there if they so chose, and wouldn’t it make more sense anyway? These are the things that are only really beginning to be spoken about. It’s not about whether the objects are stored in an environment where they can last forever. It’s about taking objects *_that were never their’s to begin with_* and hiding it under the guise of it being a legitimate and fair trade off.
@@JC-ji1hp I suppose you have been effectively able to answer your own initial question on this matter; and If you are truly interested inpursuing this issuse, then perhaps you should join us at www.uctp.org to rectify this wrong.

Last I heard the ICPR buildings in VSJ are being sold off to a private boutique hotel development Corp., with absolutely no plan for the preservation of the artifacts currently managed by them.

You should write a book and pay people to read it

Thank you Nesian for your interest and support! Bo matu'm
