The two primary groups of Indigenous peoples who settled in the Caribbean were the Arawaks and the Caribs. The Arawaks, specifically the Taíno, were among the first to inhabit the islands, known for their agricultural practices and peaceful societies. The Caribs, on the other hand, were more aggressive and known for their seafaring skills, eventually displacing some Arawak populations. These groups significantly shaped the cultural and social landscape of the Caribbean prior to European colonization.
