Book Reviews of The Tainos: Rise and Decline of the People Who Greeted Columbus
Book Review: Interesting and Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because my new daughter-in-law is part Arawak Indian and I wanted to educate myself as well as embrace my new grandchild's heritage. The Arawaks were the Tainos. This book is very informative on the Tainos, including precise location. Very well written from beginning to end. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
