This Web Quest is about Tainos Society and getting students to understand how the hierarchy of the Tainos Society was structured, what was Cacique’s functions and Cacique methods of acquiring his position. The exercises in this web quest would take two sessions.

For teachers who would like to use this web quest in a classroom, I would suggest that you expect a lot of questions pertaining to the topic and expect the students to be disgusted and sometimes surprised by the pictures associated with the topic.
