I wanna be clear that the Caribbean Gods bit covers the Yoruba and Voo Dou beliefs. Which although it’s very important to know, there is also native tribes like the Taíno that have become silenced throughout centuries. 

So yeah, I can only answer for Puerto Rican taíno but have some more info from here and here Although there’s a couple missing but it’s a good start. 

Good luck!
