The carib slept in hammocks. Warriors in training lived in a house called a carbet.
The Caribs hunted for fun. The yusually hunted the nobles(Arawaks) for their food and women.
The Arawaks had a main leader of the entire society called the cacique. This position was a hereditary title and there were sub-caciques who assisted him in various activities. The Caribs, however, had no formal leader. A leader would only emerge during wars called the oboutu and he was only the leader of his canoe. There was also the village headman or tiubutuli hauthe who made important decisions in peacetime for his particular family.In the Carib communities, the women ate separately from the men. The men also lived together in a carbet. This was not so for the Arawak communities.The Arawaks depended mainly on 'subsistence farming'. The Caribs were less of agriculturists and preferred to engage in fishing and hunting.
The leader of the arawak indians is the cacique. Hope that helped :)
