It all began on December 5, 1492. On that day Christopher Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola. Hispaniola was home to the Taino Indians. These natives resided in small family groups and were relaxed and friendly. When Columbus arrived on the island there were approximately 400.000 Indians. Columbus was surprised of the sophisticated level of organization of the Tainos, who had been organized in 5 larger tribes. However most of the Tainos died shortly after the arrival of the Spanish due to the strange diseases brought from Europe.
