We can never know when the very small Beothuk tribe became established, since that was in prehistory (meaning that nobody recorded anything at that time). We only know that the Beothuks were the original inhabitants of Newfoundland and the last of them died in 1829; they were certainly the origin of the name "Red Indians" since they made extensive use of a pigment made from natural red ochre, painting their hair, faces, bodies, babies, clothes, houses, weapons, drums, canoes and everything else red.
