Detailed explanation-1: -When Christopher Columbus arrived on the Bahamian Island of Guanahani (San Salvador) in 1492, he encountered the Taíno people, whom he described in letters as “naked as the day they were born.” The Taíno had complex hierarchical religious, political, and social systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Details under “The Taino’s Meet Columbus” that support the idea that the Spanish treated the Taino’s harshly is the text states “Columbus’s men assaulted Taino men and women, seized some to take back to the Spanish king, and claimed their land for Spain. The Spanish killed any Tanios who dared to resist.
Detailed explanation-3: -Columbus Was Cruel To Native People For the Taíno people, their removal from history began almost immediately. It started when Columbus arrived in the Americas. He landed on the island of Hispaniola. Today, Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island.
Detailed explanation-4: -He thought he could go to India, to find gold, silk, and spices. He did not know there was land in between Europe and Asia, and he ran into the islands in the Caribbean Sea. That is why when he first saw the Taínos, he called them Indians. He thought these islands were off the coast of China.
