The only references to "Taino" that could be found are a reference to a city in Italy, and a reference to the Taino Tribe of Caribbean 'indians' thought to have been Christopher Columbus's first contact with native people in the "New World."
They were long thought to have been totally eradicated by their contact with European diseases against which they had no defense.
Apparently there are some people who allege that they are descendants of the original tribe and wish to have the tribe re-constituted and removed from the list of dead tribes. Apparently The Dominican Republic is making, or has made, some effort to pass legislation declaring the tribe to be non-existent which has brought forth resistance from these people, who wish to claim special privileges under whatever laws that may exist which benefit native peoples on the Caribbean island.
