They did not have anything in common at all the only thing they did not speak the same language.
Differences between Taíno and European Lifestyles
• Europeans ate food like Cows and their milk, oats and rye, black pepper and cinnamon, cloves; while the Taíno people ate foods like birds, fish, a corn, etc.
• Europeans lived in houses of brick, stone, etc.; while Taíno people lived in houses (or slept in hammocks) of sticks, stones, leaves and other outdoor materials.
• Also they believed in different gods that the Europeans didn’t know of.
