What is Taino Society: Governance and Lifestyle about?

The Tainos had a simple hereditary system of government with a cacique as the leader of each island or province. Caciques acted as supreme judges, lawmakers, chief priests, and led important ceremonies. Villages were led by village leaders and advised by councils of elders. Taino society was organized along clan and family lines, with a focus on subsistence farming, fishing, hunting and weaving. They had polytheistic religious beliefs centered around various gods and spirits.
