One way of looking at the diverse nations of the Caribbean, is to view it as rooted in two ethnic groups: The Arawak (from aruaco the eaters of yuca meal the name given to them by the Caribs) and the Caribs (in Arawak myth the children of the rotten anaconda). The Arawak may be subdivided into two groups the main land Arawak, and the Island Arawak or Taino. If one considers the high Taino to be limited to island [[Arawak]] who resided in Puerto-Rico,  then the indigenous Taíno nations were found in Cuba, the Lucaya of the Bahamas, Jamaica, and to a lesser extent from Haiti and Quisqueya (approximately the Dominican Republic) can be referred to as neo-Taíno nations.
