- TAÍNO TALES: THE SECRET OF THE HUMMINGBIRD
- Long ago, a little girl named Alida lived in her island paradise. Her father was chief, or cacique, of the Taíno people. At the time, the Taíno and the neighboring Carib peoples were often fighting. Alida loved to escape to her favorite waterfall.
- TAROO MISSES ALIDA
- ALIDA MEETS TAROO
- One day, while at her waterfall, Alida spotted someone new. The stranger introduced himself as Taroo. Alida learned that Taroo was Carib, their enemies! He had been separated from his people and was living by her waterfall. Alida and Taroo became best friends and would sneak away to be with each other. Their friendship blossomed into love.
- TAÍNO NAME THE HUMMINGBIRD
- ALIDA PRAYS TO GODDESS ATABEYRA FOR HELP
- The Bohique (the spiritual leader and advisor to her father) discovered them. Her father forbade her to ever see Taroo again and arranged for her to marry someone else. Alida was devastated! She wanted to marry Taroo but her father would never accept it. She prayed to the goddess Atabeyra for help, begging her to save her from marrying someone else.
- THE END
- Taroo waited for Alida every day. He was in so much pain missing his love that the Goddess Atabeyra took pity on him. She turned him into a small, colorful bird and told him to go in search of his love among the flowers.
- The next day the Taíno people noticed a small, colorful bird flying from flower to flower. Its wings beat so fast that it made a musical humming sound. They called the bird colíbri - hummingbird!
- That is the Taíno legend of how the hummingbird came to be!
