Aboriginal Indian Pottery of the Dominican Republic (Bulletin of the United States National Museum, Vol. 156)

Description

Excerpt from Aboriginal Indian Pottery of the Dominican Republic

Within 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 used to be known to the Spanish explorers as a peaceful agricultural people impulsively giving way before aggressive bands of Caribs from the Lesser Antilles. In St. Vincent, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe, and in different places Columbus encountered the Carib, but heard from widely separated groups of Arawak concerning the raids and depredations of roving Carib bands.
