True or false the Taino culture exist in Puerto Rico before the arrival of Columbus?

Yes, Taino culture flourished before Columbus. After that, Tainos were enslave to find gold for the Spanish conquerors. The culture declined rapidly. Over the years, the PR census confirmed a few thousand or even just a few hundred Taino survivors continuing to the present day.

However, recent studies, examining the DNA in the blood of many people from all over the island, have confirmed that 90% of all Puerto Ricans have Tainos among their anscestors. This has led to a resurgence of interest in trying to document and recreate Taino culture. There is now a movement on to register the Taino as a recognized native American tribe, perhaps making membership available to any Puerto Rican who has a blood test that shows Taino ancestry and commitment to Taino culture. Don't know if that will succeed, but it seems like a great idea.

97: False. Puerto Rico is not state in the U.S, but it is part of the United States. You do not need a passport to travel there from the US. 98: False... I think. 99: FALSE. It is a COMPLETELY different thing. 100: True.
