A general term for the ethnic groups living on the east coast of South America and on the islands of the Caribbean. They migrated from Venezuela about 100 years before the discovery of the New World, conquered the indigenous Arawak people, and occupied the entire Lesser Antilles and part of Trinidad. They rapidly declined in the 15th and 16th centuries. They make their living by cultivating fruit and fishing, but they are also warlike and have faith in shamans and guardian spirits. The word cannibalism originates from the Spanish word Canib, which means Caribbean. It is also the origin of the name Caribbean Sea.
