History
• Prehistory
Cuba was inhabited by American Indian people known as the Taíno, also called Arawak by the Spanish, and Guanajatabey and Ciboney people before the arrival of the Spanish. The ancestors of these Native Americans migrated from the mainland of North, Central and South America several centuries earlier. The native Taíno called the island Caobana (correct spelling is "Coabana", which is spelled wrong on the referenced site.) The Taíno were farmers, while the Ciboney were farmers as well as fishers and hunter-gatherers.
