roucou
roucou
Dyeing (changing color). Another name is annatto.
The Carib (or Kalinago People) come from Venezuela and are what the Caribbean is named after. They also live in the Lesser Antilles island. Originally coming from the northern coastal region of South America, these people are called 'Amerindians'. They are more prone to war than other groups and like to (in battles) massacre the men and keep the women as slaves, hence why often the people do not always speak the same language. 'Caribis' was what the Spanish called them. It means cannibal but they are an appealing race. The caribs dye their skin with 'roucou' - this is a red colouring and led to the Spanish legend of the red-skinned race.
Taino
The Taino loved dancing and singing and used the same word for both arieto. They danced and sang to the music of drums, reed pipes and wooden gongs at festivities such as the naming of a baby, the wedding of cacique or the inauguration of a new cacique.
Another Taino custom is the flattening of foreheads of newborns. The Taino saw it as a sign of beauty. The newborns heads were bound between two boards to flatten the forehead a few days after the child was born.
The Taino played a game called batos, which was played on a marked field with two teams trying to hit the ball with their hips, knees, heads, elbows and shoulders into their opponent's goal line, was another custom.
Kalinago
At a son's birth there was a special ceremony during which the father was cut with agouti teeth and expected to bear the pain without flinching so that his son would grow up to be brave. The boy was periodically rubbed with the fat of slaughtered Tainos so that he might absorb their courage and then he underwent the initiation ceremony, which changed him from a boy to a man, and a warrior. Now he had a new name and was a true Carib.
Another custom was the Kalinago used to decorate their bodies with a dye called roucou. This was made from vegetable dye and oil, which the Kalinagos felt toughened their skins and protected against insect bites.
Another custom was the Kalinagos entertained many guests and when the guests had eaten their fill they were entertained with singing and dancing to the music of drums, reed pipes and whistles. The guests were welcome to stay as long as they liked and when at last they decided to leave they were given gifts and asked to stay longer.
Maya
Maya were broad headed and as soon as a baby was born, squeezing it gently between two boards flattened its head. This gave them a noble air and their heads were then better adapted to carry loads. The Maya were also cross-eyed. This was regarded as a special mark of beauty and distinction. Mothers would hang a ball in front of their children so that they would focus on it and therefore develop cross-eyes.
Another custom was the Maya played a game called pok-a-tok in which the players had to butt a solid rubber ball through hoops set 10 metres off the ground.
Another custom was the Mayan women lives were unpleasant. She was considered an inferior person, and girls were trained from childhood to accept a subordinate place in society. A girl would notice that her mother and other women always turned their backs and stepped aside if they met a man on the road, and that when in the presence of man, women always looked down to the ground. To look directly at a man, or worse, to laugh at him, was considered serious misconduct and was severely punished. A mother might pinch her daughter, or rub her eyes with red pepper, or beat her if she refused behave properly towards men.
