We reflect on the history and legacy of the Taíno people, the first known inhabitants of Jamaica (Xaymaca).

The Taíno, part of the Arawakan-speaking group, migrated from South America to the Caribbean between 600 and 1000 AD, settling across the islands. Their civilization flourished for centuries, with vibrant agriculture, fishing, and a rich culture that included intricate spiritual beliefs, art, and social systems.
In Xaymaca, the Taíno thrived in harmony with the land, cultivating crops like cassava, maize, and sweet potatoes, while their fishing methods were sophisticated and sustainable. They also developed tools, pottery, and ceremonial practices that influenced future generations.
The earliest history of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas stretches back thousands of years, with evidence of human habitation on the continents long before recorded history. Here’s an overview of their early history:

1. First Migration to the Americas (c. 20,000–15,000 BCE)
Most scholars believe that the first people to inhabit the Americas arrived via a land bridge called Beringia, which connected Siberia (in present-day Russia) to Alaska (in present-day the United States). This migration likely took place during the last Ice Age, when sea levels were much lower, and the land bridge was exposed. These early people were likely hunter-gatherers, following herds of large mammals, such as mammoths and bison, into the Americas.

Over thousands of years, these early settlers spread throughout both North and South America, eventually developing distinct cultures and languages. Some groups, like the Clovis culture (named after the town of Clovis, New Mexico), left behind distinctive spear points and tools, dating back to around 13,000 BCE.

Under the Road Traffic Regulations 2023, sticking your hand, head, or any part of your body out of a moving vehicle is illegal and could land you with a hefty fine.

In Jamaica, protruding any part of your body from a moving vehicle is against the Road Traffic Regulations, specifically Regulation four of the 2023 regulations, and can result in a fine, according to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) emphasizes the importance of staying within the vehicle and ensuring safe travel.
