The Significance of the Coquí Taíno Symbol
The Taíno are the indigenous community from Puerto Rico that date back to approximately 1,000 years before the arrival of the Spanish conquerors. The Taíno people were prolific with their depictions of day-to-day life. Their main art form was petroglyphs or carvings that illustrated symbols like the sun, water, and of course, the coquí frog. These petroglyphs are also a testament to the Puerto Rico frog being a native species to the island for thousands of years. The coquí tree frog continues to be a beloved part of what being from the island means for Puerto Ricans.
