The most common version of how 'Black Caribs' came to be states that in 1635, two Spanish ships carrying slaves to the West Indies from what is now Nigeria were shipwrecked near the island of Saint Vincent.

This alliance served both peoples very well, as the Africans were never re-enslaved and the Garifuna are one of the few Carib peoples to have survived as a distinct culture and with their native language thriving.
