The true natives of Tenerife were the Guanches, a tall, fair-haired race, whose presence on the island can be dated back to at least 200BC. They had their own constitution and monarch (called a mencey) and lived a reasonably peaceful existence until the Spanish conquest at the start of the 15th century. Thereafter, the island became a territory of Spain and its "natives" would be considered Spanish. There was some interbreeding and the result is that, today, you can see some Tenerife natives with fair hair - a legacy from this early race, the Guanches.
