dbo:abstract
  • The Taino were the indigenous people of the Caribbean and the principal inhabitants of Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Caribbean archaeologists have theorized that by the mid 16th century the native people of the Caribbean were extinct. However, the story of Taino extinction may not be the case according to recent research and archaeological findings. Early Spanish colonization in the Caribbean has been relatively well documented, with textual evidence that has driven interpretations about the Taino in academic literature. But, recent archaeological findings in Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic have help shed light to the story of the Taino people. (en)
