Taino Indians
Warinex
"Warinex" is my Taino name which means "the Noble Warrior". I am a member of the Taino Indian Tribe from the Caribbean. Taino are the indigenous (Native Americans) that first encountered Columbus. That encounter was not a good one however and resulted in the near decimation of the Taino Tribe. We still live through our ancestors that did survive the first encounter.
We have a very beautiful history. For instance, the Fountain of Youth that many Spaniards searched for was a tale that was told to them by the Taino Indians. This search allowed the Taino people to gain time to ensure the survival of the tribe - since the Spaniards were too busy searching for that mysterious fountain. To learn more about the Taino Indians, search the internet for "Taino" and explore the rich history.
