	Carib - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carib or Island Carib is the collective name of a people given to them who lived in the Lesser Antilles islands, after whom the Caribbean Sea was named.
		The Caribs were the source of the gold which Columbus found in the possession of the Taíno; gold was not smelted by any of the insular Amerindians, but rather was obtained by trade from the mainland.
		Carib resistance delayed the settlement of Dominica by Europeans, and the Carib communities that remained in St. Vincent and Dominica retained a degree of autonomy well into the 19th century.

	Cariban languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carib languages are widespread across northern South America, from the mouth of the Amazon River to the Colombian Andes and from Maracaibo (Venezuela) to Central Brazil.
		This was the result of the invading Carib men usually killing the local men of the islands they conquered and taking Arawak wives who then passed on their own language to the children.
		A linguistic descendant of Island Carib, Garífuna, continues to be spoken in Honduras and Belize, and is also known as Caribe or Black Carib.

		Because the mainland immigrants who entered the Windward Islands in about 1400 were essentially a male-dominated band, who took brides and fathered a new group within the islands, it would be accurate to use their name in the men’s language: Callinago.
		Carib handicrafts are unique because the designs have been handed down from one generation to the next since long before the time Columbus.
		Carib work is produced from the outer skin of the larouma reed and therefore has a firmer texture.

	Historical Notes on The Carib Territory
		But its root cause was a widespread perception among the Carib community that the action by the police was merely the most callous of a growing number of attempts by the colonial administration to infringe upon their “sovereign right” to live as a privileged ethnic community within the island’s geopolitical space.
		Confronted by clear uncontested evidence of the use of force by the Caribs against the contingent of police officers, a tempting inference to be drawn from their acquittal by the Court must be that the accuseds were believed to have acted in self-defence.
		The notion, then, of the cannibalistic Carib may have arisen from a genuine error of judgement on the part of early European writers on the Carib past, that is to say, from their failure to place their observation in a total context.
