The Arawak Indians, who inhabited the Caribbean islands, had various dances as part of their cultural practices. Some of the dances performed by the Arawak Indians included the Cemí dance, which was a religious ceremony to honor their gods and ancestors, the Batú dance, which was a ceremonial dance performed by men and women to celebrate special occasions, and the Areíto dance, which served as a form of storytelling and cultural expression through movement and music. These dances were important elements of Arawak culture and were passed down through generations.
Arawak Indians, were the ones that Christopher Columbus would meet up with. The English words canoe and tobacco came from Arawak through Spanish. The Spanish saw canoes and tobacco for the first time among the Arawak. The Arawak Indians were farmers. They planted yams, cotton, and cassava, a root crop. The Arawak were known for a dish called "pepper pot," a sort of stew that was made from manioc juice, vegetables, red pepper and meat. Many Arawak Indians would eventually die of disease and forced labor after the Spanish invasion. But, a few tribes live today along the Xingu River in Brazil. The Arawak traded with Columbus. He looked to see if they had any gold, and saw they had small bits of jewelry. He found from them that they had very little gold, but that there was a source of gold farther south. There is a link below.
The fist settlers of the ABC islands were the Caquetos Indians of the Arawak tribe. In 1634, the Dutch captured the ABC islands.
Christopher Columbus was the main source behind the elimination of the Arawak Indians.
