The Taino
Europeans might describe the encounter with the Taino using sensory imagery such as the smell of unfamiliar spices and tropical fruits, the sight of vibrant colors in clothing and decorations, the sound of exotic music and unfamiliar languages, and the feel of warm, humid air against their skin.
Europeans initially viewed Columbus's voyage as a remarkable achievement and a gateway to new trade routes and wealth, as it promised the possibility of vast resources in the New World. His encounter with the Taino people was often framed in a colonial context, where their perceived "naivety" and hospitality were interpreted as opportunities for conversion and exploitation. Many Europeans saw the Taino as a means to an end, leading to the eventual colonization and devastating consequences for the indigenous population. Overall, Columbus's journey was celebrated in Europe for its potential, despite the ethical implications of his actions.
