No.  

Christopher Columbus working for Spain discovered us  back in 1493 and Spain colonized the island a few years later with Juan Ponce de Leon.  He had the natives Tainos slaved and later killer when they sublevated.  Spain replaced the tainos with slaves from Africa.  The spaniards and other europeans came to the island and mixed with the tainos and later with the african slaves and formed our people : Puertorricans.
