Santiago was a Spanish colony of the Spanish West Indies and within the Viceroyalty of New Spain, in the Caribbean region. Its location is the present day island and nation of Jamaica. == Pre-Columbian Jamaica == (詳細はManchester Parish and Little River in St. Ann Parish are among the earliest known sites of this Ostionoid people, who lived near the coast and extensively hunted turtles and fish.〔Atkinson, Lesley-Gail. "The Earliest Inhabitants: The Dynamics of the Jamaican Taíno."〕 Around 950 AD, the people of the Meillacan culture settled on both the coast and the interior of Jamaica, either absorbing the Ostionoid people or co-inhabiting the island with them.〔Atkinson, Lesley-Gail. "The Earliest Inhabitants: The Dynamics of the Jamaican Taíno."〕 The Taíno culture developed on Jamaica around 1200 AD.〔Atkinson, Lesley-Gail. "The Earliest Inhabitants: The Dynamics of the Jamaican Taíno."〕 They brought from South America a system of raising yuca known as "conuco."〔Rogozinski, Jan. "A Brief History of the Caribbean."〕 To add nutrients to the soil, the Taíno burned local bushes and trees and heaped the ash into large mounds, into which they then planted yuca cuttings.〔Rogozinski, Jan. "A Brief History of the Caribbean."〕 Most Taíno lived in large circular buildings (''bohios''), constructed with wooden poles, woven straw, and palm leaves. The Taino spoke an Arawakan language and did not have writing. Some of the words used by them, such as ''barbacoa'' ("barbecue"), ''hamaca'' ("hammock"), ''kanoa'' ("canoe"), ''tabaco'' ("tobacco"), ''yuca'', ''batata'' ("sweet potato"), and ''juracán'' ("hurricane"), have been incorporated into Spanish and English. The Taíno were historically enemies of the neighboring Carib tribes, another group with origins in South America, who lived principally in the Lesser Antilles but had also colonized Jamaica.〔Saunders, Nicholas J. (''The Peoples of the Caribbean: An Encyclopedia of Archaeology and Traditional Culture''. ) ABC-CLIO, 2005: xi, xv. ISBN 978-1-57607-701-6〕 For much of the 15th century, the Taíno tribe was being driven to the northeast in the Caribbean (out of what is now South America) because of raids by the Carib.〔(1492 and Multiculturalism ). 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colony of Santiago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
