Description: Historical overview of colonial writings and interpretations of the Caribs and Arawaks of Trinidad, by the Trinidadian journalist and author, Kim Johnson.
The story of the 'Caribs and Arawaks' he story of the Arawaks, the Caribs and the Spaniards is a well known tale told to every Caribbean child. We all, from the least educated to the most widely read, accept it almost instinctively that there were, before the Europeans landed on these our islands, a peaceful and gentle tribe of Amerindians called the Arawaks who had inhabited the entire Caribbean archipelago. So generous and guileless were these people that they embraced the Spaniards and provided every comfort for them, only to be repaid by being mercilessly slaughtered so that within a few decades not one Arawak was alive.
