José Barreiro, A Note On Tainos: Whither Progress?
Text article depicts the cultural History of the Taino Indians both before and after the invasion from spain and the eventual demise of their dominance of the islands. Cuba, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Hispa±ola and other islands.
http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/41/013.html

Extractions: Fall, 1990 Author's note: An appreciation is due John Mohawk, who contributed to an early version of this article. References in the body of the text refer to the Select Bibliography which follows this article. All ilIustrations except the photograph on page 76 are taken from Onelio Jorge Cardoso, Los Indocubanos. Havana: Gente Nueva, 1982. Taino culture was dominant throughout the Caribbean, a sea and island world that was in turn cradle of Taino civilization. In agriculture, seafaring and cosmology, Ciboney and Guanahatabey (western Cuba), Macorix and/or Ciguayo (Bohio) and even Carib (Lesser Antilles) all followed the material and much of the psycho-spiritual framework of the Taino. The original Caribbeans spoke Arawak. The people of the Arawak language family still comprise one of the more widespread American Indigenous cultures, with relatively large kinship nations in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America. Throughout the Caribbean, usually in remote mountain ranges and coastal promontories, remnant groups and communities of Taino-Arawak and Carib descendants survive to the present. Aspects of the animistic and material culture of the Taino-Arawak have been adopted by the mestizo populations of the Caribbean and are interwoven into the Euro-African fabric of the islands' folk universe. The word Taino meant "men of the good," and from most indications the Tainos were good. Coupled to the lush and hospitable islands over millennium, and a half, the indigenous people of "La Taina" developed a culture where the human personality was gentle. Among the Taino at the time of contact, by all accounts, generosity and kindness were dominant values. Among the Taino peoples, as with most indigenous lifeways, the physical culture was geared toward a sustainable interaction with the natural surroundings. The Taino's culture has been designated as "primitive" by western scholarship, yet it prescribed a lifeway that strove to feed all the people, and a spirituality that respected, in ceremony most of their main animal and food sources, as well as the natural forces like climate, season and weather. The Taino lived respectfully in a bountiful place and so their nature was bountiful. (Jane 1930)

http://www.idealspain.com/Pages/Information/Culture.htm

Extractions: Eating out in Spain is relatively cheap and meals are usually substantial instead of gourmet. The Spanish tradition of tapas is a good way to sample the local food. Tapas are small dishes of snacks which are served anytime especially in small bars. They cover all types of foods from seafood to vegetables. Many Spanish people make an evening of hopping from bar to bar trying different tapas. Another of Spain's favourites is Serrano Ham . Spain is famous for its fish delecasies and simply must be sampled, especially if you get to coastal areas. Paella has long been a Spanish favourite, based on either meat or seafood. Every region in Spain has it's own specialities. The Spanish tend to eat traditional continental breakfasts, a light lunch and an evening meal, late. See more about Spanish

The Region Of Navarre In Spain - Culture - People And More

http://www.idealspain.com/Pages/Places/Navarra.htm

Extractions: Navarre The region of Navarre is an ancient land that shares a 130km frontier with France and is bordered by Rioja , the smallest region of Spain. There are 9 crossing points into France and as a border region, Navarre has had it's fair share of conflicts and signs of this are evident everywhere, with ruins of castles and fortified buildings. Romans, Christians, Muslims and Jews have all made their mark on the region and it's architecture is as diverse as it's landscape. Here the jota , an energetic dance is well known, as is the Fiesta de San Fermin, a festival when bulls run through the streets of Pamplona , Navarre's capital and major city. Pamplona is situated along the A15 main road and is well worth a visit. You must see the Cathedral, built on the instructions of Charles III and the Plaza del Castillo, formerly the bullring, built in 1847. It's narrow streets are an exploration in itself, with their bars and tascas attracting crowds all year round. If you intend to stay in Pamplona, the prices for accommodation during the festival can be four times the norm and the rooms will be full, well in advance. The bull-running starts on July 6th and goes on until July 14th and attracts thousands of visitors. The bulls run every day at 8am. Tickets for the bullfights will be impossible to obtain except from the ticket touts who charge ridiculous prices. Bars are open 24 hours a day.

http://www.edhelper.com/ReadingComprehension_Geography_195_1.html

Extractions: Perhaps one of Spanish culture's greatest contributions to mankind is the guitar. The guitar is a six-stringed instrument developed in a Spanish town called Andalucía in the 1790s. The Spanish guitar was an improvement to the Arab lute, which had 5 strings. The guitar invented in Andalucía didn't look like the guitars most of us see today. The guitar took on its more common shape in the 1870s. The early Spanish guitars were made out of wood, as most guitars are still made today. Spanish guitars are hollow, which gives them extra volume. Since the Spanish developed the guitar, it makes sense that the Spanish are very good at playing the guitar. In fact, some of the best guitar players in the world are Spanish. Andres Segovia mastered the art of classical guitar. It is a very difficult style of guitar playing that demands a lifetime of study and practice.
