The Arawak Indians made canoes by chopping down huge trees and then lighting small fires in the logs. After burning out the middle, they would scoop out the ashes by using stone tools. They fashioned huge oars from the limbs of the trees. An Arawak giant canoe could hold up to 100 people.

How did the arwak Indians make a canoe?

The Arawak Indians crafted canoes primarily from the trunks of large trees, such as the cedar or mahogany. They would use tools like stone axes and adzes to hollow out the wood, shaping it into a dugout canoe. The process involved careful carving and sometimes the addition of side planks to enhance stability and capacity. Once completed, these canoes were essential for fishing, transportation, and trade across rivers and coastal waters.


What tribe did Cristopher Columbus meet on Hispaniola and what happend?

Arawak Indians, were the ones that Christopher Columbus would meet up with. The English words canoe and tobacco came from Arawak through Spanish. The Spanish saw canoes and tobacco for the first time among the Arawak. The Arawak Indians were farmers. They planted yams, cotton, and cassava, a root crop. The Arawak were known for a dish called "pepper pot," a sort of stew that was made from manioc juice, vegetables, red pepper and meat. Many Arawak Indians would eventually die of disease and forced labor after the Spanish invasion. But, a few tribes live today along the Xingu River in Brazil. The Arawak traded with Columbus. He looked to see if they had any gold, and saw they had small bits of jewelry. He found from them that they had very little gold, but that there was a source of gold farther south.
