I don't think there was an Indigena category in DR in the first place so I don't know what you are talking about Jib. Kilo and Andullero have mentioned various times that Indio in DR does not mean Indigena, it is just a color descriptor, so those people being called Indio before were not being identified as Indigenous but as a skin color.

Well, tell it to Jorge Estevez, he identifies as Taino like some people in DR and was the creator of this article.
