West side of Haiti Island, Gonaibo Bay, Taino Marine Tribe.
"Almighty! Such a large village! This should be the largest village we've seen during our voyage! Such big fields and fish ponds, rows of thatched huts, several large longhouses made of wood... this is practically a small town, with at least two or three thousand people!"
"Holy Mother bless! Everyone stay alert! Do not drop the anchor, but lower the sails and observe for a while. Try to make contact with the local natives... but be ready to leave at any moment!..."
Bruno stood at the bow of the flagship, gazing toward the village on the shore, the center of the Western Stone Alliance, the Marine Tribe. In the local native language, it also had another name, "Gonaibo," from which the Spanish name, Gonaibo, originated. As for the meaning of this word, it is "the important place where the Kasike/cazique is," meaning "the Great Chief's seat of power"!
