The Tainos and Kalinagos, both Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean, shared several cultural practices. They engaged in agriculture, cultivating crops like cassava and maize, and practiced fishing and hunting. Spiritual beliefs were important, with both groups worshiping a pantheon of gods and practicing rituals, including ceremonies centered around their ancestral spirits. Additionally, they created intricate crafts, such as pottery and woven goods, reflecting their artistic skills and communal life.
both tainos and kalinagos were subsistence farmers growing food mainly for their own needs and with a little left over for trade crops were then planted in the ashes after the slash and burn method. Some Tainos used slightly more advanced method. Maize was widely grown in the Greater Antilles yet tainos and kalinagos did not rely on field for all their food sorry but i cannot find anything else :(
The Tainos primarily inhabited several Caribbean islands, including Cuba, Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. They were one of the first indigenous groups encountered by European explorers in the late 15th century. The Tainos had a rich culture and were known for their agricultural practices, fishing, and social organization. Their population significantly declined due to diseases and colonization after European contact.

The Tainos and Kalinagos had conflicts due to competition for resources like land and food. However, they also engaged in trade, exchanging goods such as food, tools, and even women, to establish peaceful relationships and access resources not available in their own territories.
The people Columbus encountered are known as the Tainos.
The word "Tainos" refers to an indigenous people of the Caribbean, particularly in regions such as the Greater Antilles. They were known for their advanced agricultural techniques, intricate societal structure, and unique cultural practices.
The Tainos hated the Kalinagoes because: 1. The Kalinagoes raided their villages and destroyed their lives 2. They took away Taino woman / wives 3. They would kill the Tainos and drink their blood because they thought it showed bravery
