Video: “Lost History: Rediscovering the Taino People”
When watching this documentary, it left me dismayed by showcasing the real history of where Taino people came from. What disturbed me when watching this documentary is how poorly and overworked the Taino people were being treated. The amount of violence the Taino people had to endure was absolutely disturbing to hear. What I found fascinating about the documentary is how much pride Taíno people took on being Taino. To add on, what I also found to be disturbing is how a Spaniard accused a Taino of stealing leading to the Spaniard cutting off the Taino’s ear. What I found interesting about the film is the history of Taino heritage.

In the reading what I find interesting is that Hispaniola is the most accessible place for gold mines. To add on, another thing that I found interesting about the reading is Christopher Columbus perceive on people’s native heritage. One thing that disturbed me the most while reading this letter is the monsters that supposedly possesses canoes and eat human flesh.
