The Quiz: Borinquén is the Indigenous Taíno name for which U.S. territory?
U.S. Virgin Islands
American Samoa
Guam
Puerto Rico
The Indigenous people of Puerto Rico were the Taínos, and they referred to their home island as “Borinquén,” meaning “land of the mighty lord.” Though the Taíno culture no longer exists as a distinct institution, it is ingrained in the Puerto Rican identity. Even today, many of the island’s inhabitants consider themselves to be Borincano rather than Puerto Rican.
The correct answer to this quiz is Puerto Rico.
