The Caribbean Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of the Caribbean islands, including groups such as the Taíno, Carib, and Arawak. These communities have rich cultural traditions, languages, and histories that date back thousands of years before European colonization. They relied on agriculture, fishing, and hunting for sustenance and developed complex societies with social structures and spiritual beliefs. Today, many Caribbean Indigenous Peoples continue to preserve their heritage and traditions despite historical challenges, including colonization and cultural assimilation. Efforts are ongoing to recognize their rights and promote their cultural identity, ensuring that their contributions to the Caribbean's history and diversity are acknowledged and celebrated.
