Columbus was impressed by the beauty, peaceful nature, and agricultural techniques of the Taino, and often wrote about the richness and productivity of the land. The first expedition of Christopher Columbus brought an initial wave of Old World peoples to the Caribbean. By the time the Europeans first encountered the Taino in 1492, they dominated the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, most of Cuba, and the Bahamas, but they were coming under pressure from the more warlike Caribs of South America as they too moved northward through the lesser Antilles. They were agriculturalists whose basic food crops-corn, manioc, and beans-were supplemented by hunting and fishing. T Taino (Arawak) Indians The Taino, also known as the Arawaks, migrated from the Caribbean coast of South America, moving northward along the island chain of the lesser Antilles to the greater Antilles, around 1200 CE.
