Indigenous peoples of Cuba

Indigenous peoples in Cuba are the first inhabitants of Cuba who can trace their ancestry to the original pre-Columbian peoples of the island. == Terminology == Some scholars such as Julian Granberry and Gary S. Vescelius classify the Ciboney as a "Western Taíno" group, associating them with the peoples of the Bahamas (Lucayans), westernmost Hispaniola, and possibly Jamaica, while distinguishing them from the "Classic Taíno", a grouping within which they include Taino in eastern Cuba who migrated from Hispaniola, the Taino of eastern Hispaniola, and the Puerto Rican Taino.
