Taino — the original native Jamaicans
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
My paternal grandmother confirmed that she is a full Taino (called Arawak)before. Also, my maternal great grandmother is half Taino and half Jew.
The history is not recorded as such since several died from harsh labour and ill treatment by the colonizers. It seemed appropriate for the few survivors to keep a low profile. Currently several Jamaicans now identify their Taino heritage based on knowledge gained from oral tradition.
