I decided to submit all the information about the Canary Islands into a whole, to give the creator a better view of the situation of these islands.
The current division of the islands is on two Tenerife and Gran Canaria

The first problem is the island of Gran Canaria because it was not in 1444 owned by the Kingdom of Castile.
The conquest of Gran Canaria and its inclusion in the Kingdom of Spain is attributed to the figure of Pedro de Vera, which ended in 1483 the conquest initiated by Juan Rejón.

The first proposal to divide the Canary Islands (more confident to be implemented by the creators)
And here are the changes:

The new province is the island of Lanzarote, also representing the island of Fuerteventura.

The second proposal for the division of islands (unlikely to be introduced)

Here is the map of the conquest of the Canary Islands.

The names of the islands in the indigenous language of Guanches
Tenerife:Achinech,Achineche,Asensen
Gran Canaria:Tamaran
Lanzarote:Titerogakaet,Titeroigatra
La Palma:Benahoare
Source of information:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanches
-Having three provinces it is possible to add a Guanches culture

Now we are going to potential countries in the Canary Islands:

-The first country is the Taoro Kingdom located on the island of tenerife.
A hundred years before the Spanish conquest (1494), this place was the capital of the Menceyato of Adeje, one of the guanches(local kingdoms) in which the island was divided.
as we can see, there was one kingdom on Tenerife which broke down into nine menceyatos guanches (native kingdoms)
source of information:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adeje
Here is the division map:

List of Kingdoms existing on Tenerife:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinerfe
Why is the kingdom of Taoro the reason is one can not be represented on such a small island as many as nine kingdoms. During the battle with the aggressors, the ruler of most kingdoms was Bencomo ruler Taoro.

Beneharo was a son of the last important Guanche king called Tinerfe who united all nine Guanche kingdoms. Beneharo together with Acaimo of Guimar became allies who joined De Lugo in battle against King Bencomo of Taoro who was the leader of all 'menceyes' at the time.

Now let's look at the island of Gran Canaria:
the island is divided into two Kingdoms
And these are the kingdom of Gáldar and the kingdom of Telde.
Map of the island's division:

Telde

Personally, I would choose the kingdom of Gáldar on the island of Gran Canaria
source in Spanish:https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanarteme

There is a possibility to add a general here. Doramas came from the kingdom of Telde but he moved to the kingdom of Gáldar.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doramas


so much here gives the source of the old proposal:https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...slands-and-the-tribe-of-the-guanches.1123364/

information about the indigenous population of the islands
  • -The head of the tribe was mencey (on Gran Canaria - guanarteme), who exercised power in agreement with the council of the powerful, called taoro or tagoror.
    The appearance of the inhabitants of the tenerife:
    -In the 15th century accounts of European conquerors of the Canary Islands, the natives - especially those from Tenerife - are described as tall, with blue eyes and light long hair. They were called Guanches (from guan - "man" and che or achinch - "white mountain", association with the snow-covered Teide volcano).
    About tools, weapons and clothes:
    -Wood, stone and bones were used to make tools. The basic raw material from which clothes were sewn was goat skin, and from the jewelery the inhabitants of the islands most often wore shell necklaces. The natives were able to build primitive boats. They used long spears called banot to fight, as well as tenique - tools made of stone wrapped in leather.
    On the religion of the natives:
    They worshiped the sun god known in Gran Canaria as Alcorac, in Tenerife - Achaman, and in La Palma - Aborra. The inhabitants of Tenerife believed that the hell is at the bottom of the Teide volcano and that the god of evil rules in it - Guayota. The Guanches mummified the corpses of the chiefs and nobles, choosing inaccessible caves and caves for the burial site. The engraving of the dead was considered untouchable and excluded from the community.
    About farming, eating and growing:
    -The tribes inhabiting the Canary Islands had a lot in common. Above all, they led a primitive way of life - their economy was based on simple forms of agriculture, pastoralism and hunting. Barley was grown, being the main ingredient of a dish called gofio, made from ground grains and baked in clay pots. The source of animal protein was mainly goat and fish for them.
    About house construction:
    Most of the Guanches inhabited the grottos. Some built primitive houses - low huts with uneven stone walls, covered with a roof supported by wooden beams and covered with pieces of rock and earth.
