They were skilled fishermen and also engaged in trade with neighboring tribes. Their society was matrilineal, with a rich culture that included art, music, and a strong spiritual connection to nature.


What happened to the people christopher Columbus met and why?

The people Christopher Columbus met, primarily the Indigenous Taino and Arawak populations in the Caribbean, faced devastating consequences following his arrival in 1492. They were subjected to violence, enslavement, and exploitation, leading to significant population decline due to disease, forced labor, and harsh treatment. The introduction of European diseases, to which the Indigenous people had no immunity, further exacerbated their suffering and contributed to the near extinction of many communities. Ultimately, Columbus's voyages marked the beginning of widespread colonization, profoundly impacting Indigenous cultures and societies.
