When Christopher Columbus arrived in Hispaniola in 1492, he encountered the Taíno people, an indigenous group who inhabited the island. The Taíno were part of the larger Arawak-speaking population and were known for their agricultural practices, fishing, and trade. Columbus described them as friendly and welcoming, but their population would soon suffer devastating impacts due to European colonization, including violence, enslavement, and disease.
