For ten years, they served as joint coordinators on numerous indigenous human rights and community building campaigns. Barreiro was editor of Cornell University's Akwe: kon Press from 1984 to 2002, and later was senior editor of Indian Country Today. Barriero is a member of the Taino Nation of the Antilles.

“Written” by Guaikán, the elderly Taino man who, in his youth, was adopted by Christopher Columbus and saw history unfold, Taino is the Indian chronicle of the American encounter, the Native view on Columbus and what happened in the Caribbean. This novel, based on a true story, penetrates the historical veil that still enshrines the “discovery.”
