it's my understanding that the caribs, arawaks and ciboney people were killed off before the slaves got to the different islands ... they didn't get a chance to live among the invaders and slaves
except maybe the maroons in jamaica ... who were able to escape to the interior

I thought so too. The English and the French killed off the majority of the Carib population.

i just found out recently that them British mofos took a bunch of maroons and just dropped them off over in Sierra Leone....
Can you imagine just taken from your country and dropped off in the middle of another continent that you know nothing about and have no friends/relatives there?...

this is not entirely true in the DR...i learned it from Z ....read some article. i find it hard to believe an entire ppl were wiped out....seems too neat. i assume if it is true in DR it might be partly true in some areas of Haiti as well...same island and all

maybe the dutch had different policies regarding "natives"
in the caribbean islands they massacred the original peoples
if Dominica still has their original people that would wonderful, I hadn't heard that before
