Informative #SavePuertoRico

5.00Miguelito and Johnathan was pleasant and Miguelito was informative on the culture of Borikén which translates to "Land of the Valiant and Noble Lord" or "Land of the Noble People". The indigenous inhabitants referred to themselves as Boricua. This name reflects the island's pre-colonial, indigenous roots before Spanish arrival in and claimed as they do everything else and doing now as such. Upon landing in 1493, Christopher Columbus renamed the island San Juan Bautista, but the capital city was originally named Puerto Rico. Over time, the names were swapped, with the island becoming known as Puerto Rico. Property developers run the eco system right next to this beautiful land.
