The Taíno were the indigenous inhabitants of the Bahamas, Greater Antilles, and some of the Lesser Antilles – especially in Guadeloupe, Dominica and Martinique. The Taíno ("Taíno" means "peace", were peaceful seafaring people and distant relatives of the Arawak people of South America.

Taíno society was divided into two classes: Nitaino (nobles) and the Naboria (commoners). Both were governed by chiefs known as caciques, who were the maximum authority in a Yucayeque (village). The chiefs were advised by priest-healers known as a Bohique and the Nitayno, which is how the elders and warriors were known.
