The history of Jamaica is a story of change and cultural shift. Like many other places that have been shaped by centuries of trade, it is a gumbo of culture, both unique and appropriated from others. Originally, Jamaica was populated by the native Taino Indians. After the arrival of Columbus to the New World, the native population was almost entirely decimated. Spanish landowners helped perpetuate the slave trade that brought thousands of West Africans to work their farms.
