I know the word BARBECUE comes from them.
La palabra barbacoa se registra por vez primera en la “Colección de documentos inéditos del Archivo de Indias” en 1518 donde se menciona:
“Salieron ciertos caciques con su gente con muchos venados asados y puestos en sus barbacoas que quiere decir como artesas de allá o instrumentos en que se puede llevar mucha carne asada y cocida.”
“Dan de comer y beber por precio que venden guisados, cazuelas hechas con chile verde y tomates grandes y pepitas, y son de su oficio vender asado y carnes cocidas debajo tierra (barbacoa) y caldo hecho con agua de chile espesado y condimentado de varios modos para acompañar las carnes.”

Good relations between Christopher Columbus and the indigenous Taíno of the large island Columbus called Hispaniola did not last more than a few days; after Columbus had tortured and killed many trying to force them to provide him with gold, he turned to slavery and sugar cane plantations as a way to profit from his voyages. Pretty much were worked to death, women raped and the spanish had to bring more resistant blacks that is why Jamaice Haiti etc are now black nations
