The Garínagu (plural for Garífuna) do not have "three bloods", they have one. Their ancestors are Africans who lived on St. Vincent and who were acculturated (in language and in customs) to the native peoples of this island before the 19th century. A Garífuna individual may or may not have native Indian blood.

The native Indians who lived on St. Vincent were called the Kalipona. The Kalipona was a group that was historically Inyeri (Arawak descendant) and a second, later group of Arawak migrants who were bilingual in Arawak and Galibi. Galibi has been mistakenly called "Carib" in many history books.
