Taino - Sorting out Fact from Fiction

[Tropicana]

If this is true:

Genocide in Jamaica
The first census conducted by the Spanish in 1611 recorded 558 enslaved Africans and 107 free Africans. However, only 74 Arawak natives remained. The rest of the 60,000 people living on the island before Columbus arrived 117 years earlier had been wiped out by the violence, disease and forced labor unleashed by the Spanish invaders.

Then how is it even remotely possible that pure Taino have survived in Jamamica until the 21st century. Impossible.

because the census was inaccurate..... there were a group of people called Maroons...... they were not counted....there were Ciboney in Mobay and Tiano in the great Morass as well as in the ST E hills...
