GARIFUNA,THE BLACKS IN DIASPORA WHO WERE NEVER SLAVES The history of the Garifuna (also known as Garinagu) begins before the year 1635 on the island of St. Vincent in the eastern Caribbean. St. Vincent was inhabited by a peaceful tribe of Indians who called themselves Arawaks. The Kalipuna tribe from mainland South America invaded St. Vincent and conquered the Arawaks. The Arawak men were all killed and the Kalipuna warriors took the Arawak women as wives. The inhabitants of the island were then the union of these two tribes. The Spanish called these people "Caribes" (Caribs) which means cannibals and that is the word from which "Caribbean" is derived.
