What are the Borequinos of Puerto Rico?

Borequinos is a nickname for people from Puerto Rico. It has multiple meanings, including "people of the boriken family", "those who walk the earth", and "indigenous of Puerto Rico".

Historically, the term was used as an identity for the enslaved African people taken to Puerto Rico via African slave trade or as a derogatory term for Puerto Rican people.

More recently, "boricuas" has been claimed by Puerto Ricans themselves as a term of endearment and an expression of Puerto Rican identity.
