The Taino islands provided a vast array of edible fruits.

The Arawaks made specific use of many types of trees and plants from an estimated
floral and faunal range of 5,800 species. Further upriver in the villages, they saw large
fields of corn, yucca, beans and fruit orchards covering whole valleys.

The Taino were a sea-going people and took pride in their courage on the high ocean
as well as their skill in finding their way around their world. They visited one another
constantly.

Columbus was often astonished at finding lone Indian fishermen sailing in the open ocean
as he made his way among the islands.
