Reminiscences of the Taino people

The image shows ancient rock art depicting various figures, illuminated by a flashlight. The carvings include humanoid shapes and other abstract designs on a textured stone surface.

Deep within the history of the Dominican Republic lies a rich tapestry of ancient civilization, centered around the vibrant culture of the Taino people. The Taino, also known as the Arawak, were the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Hispaniola long before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492.

Despite the devastating consequences of European colonization, the Taino legacy continues to shape the identity and cultural landscape of the Dominican Republic.
