Island Caribs or the Kalinago lived on various islands of the Caribbean. The Spanish claimed they were cannibals. However this may be because it allowed the Spanish to enslave them. It was their custom to keep the bones of their ancestors in their houses as a part of their religion. The Island Caribs had migrated from South America about three hundred years before Columbus.
