iciHaiti - Culture : The heritage of the Tainos in Haitian culture 26/12/2018 15:56:03
Recall that until the end of the fifteenth century, the country was populated by Indigenous people, mainly Taino Indians. Their social system allowed them to control the space defining hunting and fishing territories between the different groups that shared the island. There was another form of space appropriation denoting a religious character with the use of caves and huge rocks whose walls were decorated with incised rock drawings and carved stalagmites. The Tainos worked diorites, quartz... They excelled in stone carving as well as in polishing. Numerous archaeological research and excavations carried out on the island have uncovered stone tools, fragments of pottery, shells and carved bones from the Taïno culture and testifying to the diversity of their art. Visit the museum and come to enrich your knowledge on the legacies of the Taïnos Amerindians in the Haitian culture. IH/ iciHaiti
