Where did the Garifunas Indians originally come from?
Modern day Garinagu (plural of Garifuna) are not Native Americans, but trace their ancestry to both descendants of captured Africans and Arawak and Carib Indians. The name Garifuna is a derivative of the Carib word Kalipuna which was what the Caribs called themselves, which means cassava (manioc) eater. Modern day Garifuna in appearance appear mainly to be of African descent.
