The Arawak are not one tribe but a large group of related tribes originally living not only in the Caribbean islands but on the mainland of South America.

They include the Taino, Antillean and Campa tribes - the Taino were the first native Americans encountered by Columbus.

In the Caribbean ocean they occupied the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico), the Bahamas and Trinidad.
