∙ 14y agoThe Tainos were simple peaceful people who come from South America. They went island hopping in search of new lands to settle. These people were short, stout people with straight black hair. They wore little clothing and simple loin cloths for males. They often painted their bodies and pierced their nose, ears, mouths and other places. They wore shell and bone jewelry. They often flattened their forehead at birth which was a sign of beauty .
