Excerpt from Aboriginal Indian Pottery of the Dominican RepublicWithin historic times the aboriginal population of the West Indies has included two great linguistic stocks - the Carib and the Arawak. The Arawak population of the Greater Antilles and of the Bahamas was known to the Spanish explorers as a peaceful agricultural people rapidly giving way before aggressive bands of Caribs from the Lesser Antilles. In St. Vincent, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, and elsewhere Columbus encountered the Carib, but heard from widely separated groups of Arawak about the raids and depredations of roving Carib bands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
