  Taíno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At this time the neighbors of the Taíno were the Guanahatabeys in the western tip of Cuba, and the Island-Caribs in the Lesser Antilles from Guadaloupe to Grenada.
They were not immune to European diseases, notably smallpox, but many of them were worked to death in the mines and fields, put to death in harsh put-downs of revolts or committed suicide to escape their cruel new masters.
Under this system, Taino were required to work for a Spanish land owner for most of the year, which left little time to tend to their own community affairs.
