Abstract
This chapter explores how remembrance can serve as a practice in the development of a Puerto Rican consciousness essential in decolonizing Christianity and the Church. Since the period of colonization, Taíno women have suffered the ignominy of erasure of their personhood. With the conquest of their bodies began the onslaught on their dignity, a symbolic violence and social trauma still in force today. As a response to their plight for visibility, this chapter employs aesthetics in the form of archeological findings and research in defining decoloniality as an act of remembrance. The purpose is to unearth memories of rape and matricide at the hands of the Spanish, to recover the religious symbolism of their sexuality and uterine cavities in sacred spaces and representations, to put forth a Tainoan paradigm of liturgical worship, and to summon the recognition of their physical presence in the island of Puerto Rico.
