The fifth world of the Aztecs The Taino people came from South America, where they had been hunters and farmers. Some 2,000 years ago, they paddled out into the sea in dugout canoes and discovered the small mountainous islands of the Caribbean, far different from the jungles they left behind. With little food to be found on land, they hunted the sea for manatees and tuna, conch and sea snails. Isolated from enemies, they became peaceful and spiritual people. The first to greet Columbus, they stood no chance against slavery, torture, and disease.
