		The Lucayans share a common ancestry with the Taino societies of Puerto Rico, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba and Jamaica (the Greater Antilles), who they separated from around A.D. 600 when they began to colonize the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas (hereafter called the Lucayan Islands).
		Most villages in the Lucayan Islands were composed of houses aligned atop a sand dune with the ocean in front and a marshy area behind.
		Moreover, had the Spanish never arrived the Lucayans might soon have been subject to demands from the Classic Tainos on Hispaniola who were already establishing bases in the Turks and Caicos and Great Inagua by the middle of the 13th century.

	Lucayan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lucayan were those Arawak which inhabited the Bahamas at the time of Christopher Columbus' landing on October 12, 1492.
		They are widely thought to be the first Amerindians encountered by the Spanish.
		Before Columbus' arrival, there were probably over 40,000 Lucayans, but because of slavery, diseases and other hardships brought about by the arrival of the Europeans, by 1517, they were virtually non-existent.

	Reproducing a Duho (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Back in the planning stage for the Lucayan exhibit room on the Museum's second floor, we decided to provide something a little more special for the new displays than the potsherds and shell tools that have made up the Amerindian displays so far.
		For the past ten years, the National Museum of the American Indian, a part of the Smithsonian, has been actively pursuing a policy of returning Indian artefacts in their extensive collection to the descendants of the Native American tribes from whom they were collected in the last two centuries.
		As the time grew close for the official opening of the Lucayan exhibit and we still had not been able to acquire a duho replica, the answer was obvious: make one ourselves.

		The caves at Lucayan National Park comprise one of the longest underwater cave systems in the world, which is also among the most environmentally distinct.

		Little is known about pre-Columbian times, but it is widely accepted that Exuma, like other Bahamian Islands, was settled by peaceful Lucayan Indians who had migrated northward to escape conflict with the more warlike Caribs.
		The coming of the Spanish, in the wake of Columbus's voyages, brought the first convulsive change to Exuma and the islands of the area.
		Virtually all the Lucayan Indians were captured, enslaved and put to work in the fields and mines of Spanish-held territory in Hispaniola arid Central and South America.
