Arawak

These Arawak-speaking people migrated from the Caribbean islands around 800 AD and thrived across the archipelago for centuries. Their civilization was tragically decimated following European arrival due to disease and enslavement.

Archaeological evidence shows that Siboney, Arawak, and Carib peoples lived on Antigua and Barbuda long before European arrival. Their settlements and artifacts provide valuable insights into the rich pre-Columbian history of the Caribbean.
