THE TAINOS
Süžeeskeem Tekst
- Bryan, school was very interesting today! We learned about the Tainos' appearance.
- That's awesome Abbie! Why was the lesson interesting? Didn't the Tainos look and dress like us?
- Let's go on the inside and you can tell me all about it.
- Well, for starters, they used to flatten their babies' foreheads at birth. They thought it made them look more attractive.
- Wow! That would mean the Tainos had flat, broad foreheads!
- They even had brown skin and straight, black hair.
- You're so correct!
- I read once that they were medium built and of medium height. They were also very peaceful people.
- They also dressed differently from us. They used parrot feathers to make their headwear.
- The cacique was the only one who wore a jacket made from parrot feathers.
- Oh! I see. I know that they painted their bodies. So what did they wear as clothes?
- Well, The men wore loincloths made from cotton and the married women wore skirts made from cotton.
- The unmarried women and the children went naked.
- Interesting!
- The Tainos also wore necklaces that they made from animal teeth, stones, etc.
- Sis, thanks for sharing. I learned a lot. Let's get something to eat.
