No, Tainos and Arawaks were two distinct indigenous groups in the Caribbean. The Tainos lived in the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico), while the Arawaks inhabited regions of South America and parts of the Lesser Antilles. Both groups shared some cultural similarities but had different languages and traditions.
