No When Columbus first set foot on Hispaniola, he encountered a population of native people called the Taino. A friendly group, they willingly traded jewelry, animals, and supplies with the sailors. "They were very well built, with very handsome bodies and very good faces," Columbus wrote in his diary. "They do not carry arms or know them ... They should be good servants." The natives were soon forced into slavery, and punished with the loss of a limb or death if they did not collect enough gold (a portion of which Columbus was allowed to keep for himself). Between the European's brutal treatment and their infectious diseases, within decades, the Taino population was decimated.
