Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean

At the time of first contact between Europe and the Americas, the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean included the TaĆ­no of the northern Lesser Antilles, most of the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas, the Kalinago of the Lesser Antilles, the Ciguayo and Macorix of parts of Hispaniola, and the Guanahatabey of western Cuba. The Kalinago have maintained an identity as an indigenous people, with a reserved territory in Dominica.
