A member of the Calinago people, a Kalinago or Arawakan indigenous group from the Caribbean, also historically called the Carib.
From the self-designation of indigenous Caribbean peoples, the Kalinago. The term reflects how indigenous groups named themselves before European colonial impositions of different names.
The Calinago were such skilled seafarers and warriors that European colonizers feared them greatly, yet today many people only know them from the term 'cannibal,' which was a colonial mischaracterization spread to justify conquest.
