How do Puerto Rican indigenous people live?

The indigenous peoples of Puerto Rico were the Taíno people, who had a complex and advanced civilization on the island. They lived in village composed of several families and were organized in a hierarchical system. The Taíno were skilled farmers, growing crops such as cassava, maize, and sweet potatoes. They also fished and hunted for food.

The Taíno people had a rich culture, including a religion that included the worship of a supreme being and many other deities. They also had a well-developed art and music tradition.

The Taíno people were devastated by the arrival of the Spanish in the 15th century. Many were killed by diseases such as smallpox and measles, while others were enslaved or forced to work in the gold mines. By the end of the 16th century, the Taíno people were nearly extinct.

Today, there are only a few hundred indigenous people living in Puerto Rico. They are mostly concentrated in small villages in the eastern and central parts of the island. The indigenous people of Puerto Rico are working to preserve their culture and traditions, but they face many challenges, including discrimination and poverty.
