Hello Collectors！
The product we released this month is the Taino people from the Columbus Series.
Columbus had arrived at the islands we now know as the Bahamas, which were home to the Taino people. The Tainos were amazed to see strange, bearded men who covered their bodies with clothes. They thought that the Spaniards had come down from the sky.
Columbus travelled from island to island, visiting Taino villages. Some of the villages were more like towns, with up to 1,000 huts and 5,000 inhabitants.
Believing he was in the Indies, Columbus naturally assumed that the islanders were Indians. He could see that they were not Europeans or Africans. As far as he knew, this was what Asian people looked like. Columbus’s mistake means that, to this day, Native Americans are still called “Indians”.
Hope you will like these new products! Have a nice day!
Best wishes,
T.M. Jack
