The Taíno people are believed to have migrated to Jamaica from South America around 1,000 CE, traveling by canoe across the Caribbean Sea. They were part of the larger Arawakan-speaking group and settled on several Caribbean islands, including Jamaica. Their arrival marked the beginning of extensive agricultural and fishing practices, contributing to their vibrant culture. The Taíno established communities and became the island's first inhabitants before European contact.
