Terminology
The term “Arawak” was a name that was
originally applied to the Taino by the
Spanish. As they believed that there were
similarities with the language spoken by
the Arawak Indians of Guianas. Irving
Rouse (1992) relates that Daniel Garrison
Brinton looked at the similarities between
the Arawak people and the Taíno people in
1871 and determined that based on
cultural and linguistic similarities. He
came to the conclusion that the Taíno
were of the same group as the Lokono
Arawaks of northeast South America.
History
Migration …
After AD 600, Jamaica was first colonized
by the ancestors of the Yamaye, the
Ostionoid culture (Rouse 1992).[1] These
people were also known as the Redware
people to local Jamaicans.[6] It is believed
that these people lived in coastal areas,
with two settlements being only 1km
inland, making them the only exceptions.
Three hundred years later, the next
migration of people were from the
Meillacan Ostionoid culture. Traditionally, it
was a common belief that the Ostionans
were colonized by the Meillacans and
absorbed into the latter cultural group, and
the Ostionan period was believed to have
ended around AD 900. However, recent
archaeological investigations across many
sites across the island have indicated that
the two groups possibly co-inhabited the
island. The Melliacan people did not have
settlement patterns like the Ostionoid
people, as sites have been found all across
Jamaica with no clear pattern.
The third migration was the Europeans in
early May of 1494[11]. Due to multiple
reasons, many Yamaye people died. The
main people to survive were the Yamaye
people to escape to the mountains. Where
they mixed with the Africans, and created
a new population of people. Other Yamaye
people survived through heavy
assimilation.[5]
Chiefdoms / Tribes …
It is unknown exactly how many tribes
existed within Jamaica. However, some
estimate at least a total of eight tribes:
Aguacadiba, Ameyao, Anaya, Guaygata,
Huereo, Maynoa, Oristan and Vaquabo[12].
However, only two tribes were able to
survive; Ameyao and Huareo[13]. And
eventually, even those tribes perished. In
recent times, one tribe emerged again, a
tribe known as Iucayeke Yamaye Guani
with the current chief being Kalaan
Nibonri, whom also is an Island Carib
speaker. The most notable recent events
involving Iukayeke Yamaye Guani involves
The Run Yamayeka Run, also known as the
Run Taino Run event. [14][15][16][17][18]
Language
Columbus and his people did not record
much of the Yamaye language. Based on
the surviving words, and what words have
been recorded, The Yamaye people spoke
at least one Arawakan language.[19][20][21]
Today, the Yamaye descendants mainly
speak Jamaican Patois and Jamaican
English.
