Arawak and Carib Peoples

The Arawak and Carib peoples are indigenous groups from South America and the Caribbean. The Arawak people, known for their peaceful nature and skilled farming, inhabited islands like the Greater Antilles and mainland regions. The Carib people, often portrayed as fierce warriors, also lived in the Caribbean and surrounding areas, with a reputation for their seafaring skills and resistance to colonization. Both groups played significant roles in the history and culture of the Caribbean before European contact, with distinct languages, traditions, and social structures that have influenced the region's heritage.
