Who are the indigenous people in the caribbean

Caribs

Explanation: The carib were the major indigenous group in what we now know as the Caribbean so Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Haiti.

When Columbus got there, it wasn not unoccupied so meaning that there were people there in full civilizations. Tens of thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of people just in the Caribbean islands.

So the Carib were like the big indigenous group they were like the power players in the Caribbean when Columbus mistakenly washed ashore in 1492.  

So we get the word caribbean from carib so it was named after the people that were living there. SOme experts say that there were about 300,000 indigenous peoples living in the caribbean at that time which is pretty big number if you think about it. By 1560 around a little over 50 years later, they were gone so they were wiped clean. Mostly this happened from disease but they were dead.
