Use the passage to answer the question.

"Artless and generous . . . to such a degree as no one would believe but him who had seen it. Of anything they have, if it be asked for, they never say no, but do rather invite the person to accept it, and show as much lovingness as though they would give their hearts."

B. Taínos

Respuesta :

Christopher Columbus was describing B. Taínos

The correct answer is B) Tainos.

Christopher Columbus is describing the Tainos.

The Tainos were native Indians in the Caribbean island of Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. These people were the first ones to encounter Christopher Columbus when he got to America in 1492. In that time, there were many Taino communities that were in conflict with each other. Many Taino people died due to diseases that the Spaniards brought to America such as measles, chickenpox, smallpox, and influenza.
