This is a '''list of known [[Taínos]]''', some of which were '''Caciques''' (Male [[tribal chief]]s) or '''Cacicas''' (Female tribal chiefs). Their names are in alphabetical order.
The Taíno are [[pre-Columbian]] [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|indigenous]] inhabitants of the [[Bahamas]], [[Greater Antilles]], and some of the [[Lesser Antilles]]. It is believed that the seafaring Taíno were relatives of the [[Arawak]]an people of [[South America]]. The indigenous people that [[Christopher Columbus]] encountered in his first voyage called themselves "Taíno", meaning "good" or "noble", to differentiate themselves from Island-[[Caribs]].<ref>Rouse, p.5., Retrieved September 19, 2007</ref>
Taíno society was divided into two classes: '' naborias'' (commoners) and '' nitaínos'' (nobles). Both were governed by chiefs known as ''Caciques'' or ''Cacicas'' (male or female, respectively) who was the maximum authority in a ''Yucayeque'' (village). The chiefs were advised by priests/healers known as ''bohiques''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.elmuseo.org/taino/caciques.html |title=Caciques, nobles and their regalia |accessdate=2006-11-09 |work= |publisher=elmuseo.org}}</ref>
