A member of a Carib people native to the Caribbean region, particularly associated with the Lesser Antilles islands.
From Caribbean Arawakan or Carib languages, referring to the indigenous people who inhabited the Lesser Antilles. The term has been used in historical and anthropological contexts since colonial encounters.
The Galibi were master navigators who used canoes to travel between Caribbean islands centuries before Europeans arrived—their name is actually the origin of the word 'cannibal,' though colonizers grossly misrepresented Carib culture and practices.
