Explanation:

The Taino were the indigenous people of most of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and Puerto Rico. They belonged to the Arawak people of the Caribbean. At their height, the largest Taino centers could have contained over 3,000 people. The Taino had a fairly advanced culture, with social structures and religion. They also practiced farming and ceramic. Most of the Taino population was wiped out due to conflict and disease shortly after the arrival of European groups.
