The Taino world of 1492 was a thriving place.

According to archeological evidence, the earliest human fossil in the region is
dated at 15,000 years.

The Taino existence was not threatened more than a modern American's existence
is threatened by street crime.

Bohio was the Taino name for Espaņiola, it means "home" in Taino.

It is true that Caribbean Indian peoples fought with each other, taking prisoners and
some ritually eating parts of enemy warriors, but even more often they accommodated
each other and as "discovery" turned to conquest, they allied as "Indians," or, more
properly, as Caribbean Indigenous peoples against Spanish troops.

As a peaceful civilization, the Taino caciques apparently made diplomatic use of their
agricultural bounty to appease and tame more militaristic groups.
