    The Kalinagos (Caribs)

    Appearance of the Kalinagos/(Caribs)


    The Kalinagos were darked complexion with straight
    black hair and they were taller, stronger and sturdy built.
    As such, they were taller and stronger than the Tainos.
    Apart from that the Kalinagos were more decorative than
    the Tainos as they wore chains and pierced different
    sections of their bodies.
    The Social & Political Structure
    Kalinagos/Caribs
    Occupied the Lesser Antilles Guadeloupe, Martinique and Trinidad.
    Kalinagos lived in villages near rivers or creeks, villages were always placed strategically
    in preparation in attacks from other groups.
    There was less hierarchical society among the Kalinagos than that of the Mayans and
    Tainos.
    The Kalinago chief was called OUBOUTOU.
    The OUBOUTOU did not have as much power as HALCHU UINIC (Mayan) or
    CACIQUE (Taino). They ruled by general consensus.
    The OUBOUTOU was given full obedience during times of war which was necessary for
    the effective fighting unit.
    The position of OUBOUTOU was not hereditary but was attained by the head of the
    largest family also for being brave.
    The Social & Political Structure Kalinago/Carib

    They lived in households containing extended families.


    They practiced polygamy they had no ball courts.
    Kalinagos (each extended family lived in a separate village. In times of peace, the village was head by
    a TRUBUTULI HAUTHE (Village Headman).
    During war each canoe would be captained by their owner, and one of those captains would be chosen
    as UBOUTOU (he would keep the title for the rest of his life).
    Kalinago men lived together in a KARBAY- a village meeting house where would they go under
    warrior training.
    In warrior training young Kalinago boys were taken from their mothers as young as 4 years old. They
    were taken to live in KARBAY for training. They would undergo training in the manufacturing and
    use of weapons, such as the bow and arrow (with the arrow being poison-tipped).
    At age 14 or 15 they had to pass an initiation test to become warriors. They were tested in their pain
    tolerance (salt was rubbed into wounds obtained from animal claws) and shooting accuracy with bow
    and arrow.
    Religious beliefs of the Kalinagos
    They believed in an evil spirit called MAYBOYA. This spirit had to
    be calmed in order to avoid harm.
    Kalinago (Priest) were called BOYEZ. There function was to heal
    the sick with herbs and to cast spells (known as PIAIA) which would
    keep MAYBOYA away.
    Young boys who did not lived in the KARBAY were to be trained as
    warriors were left to grow up with women and trained as BOYEZ.
    Ceremonies were carried out by BOYEZ were accompanied with
    sacrifices and involved the use of tobacco.
    They were Polytheistic worshiping many Gods.
    Economic Practices and Patterns
    Kalinagos/Caribs
    CONUCO CULTIVATION was used (planting of
    many different crops for example maize, corn, beans
    and cassava).
    CASSAVA was the main crop
    They mostly HUNTED and FISHED.
    They traded on a small scale.
    They were relatively mobile nomadic people.
    Artforms, Science and Technology (Kalinagos)

    The Kalinagos ate foods similar to the Tainos, but with higher protein content
    as a result they developed tools and weaponry that were adapted for enhanced
    hunting (as well as warfare).
    For cuisine they seasoned their foods with pepper but no salt. They developed
    pepper sauces such as COUII and TAUMALIN.
    They also made a beer called OUICOU (a cassava beer with strong alcohol
    content).
    They built very strong canoes (two kinds- COUILANAS which were 20 feet
    long and pointed at both ends).
    And (CANOUAS which were up to 50 feet long and capable carrying 30-40
    people). These were canoes that were built out of dug out tree trunks.
