When Christopher Columbus landed on the island of San Salvador in
1492, what he discovered were the Taino Indians. Told from a young
Taino boy’s point of view, this is a story of how the boy tried to
warn his people against welcoming the strangers, who seemed more
interested in golden ornaments than friendship. Years later the boy,
now an old man, looks back at the destruction of his people and their
culture by the colonizers.
