Arawaks were peaceful. And they were a favorite food of the Carib Indians who were cannibals, and, in fact, the origin of that term.

***Arawaks peaceful? How about “peaceful cannibals”.**
Arawaks were about to die out. They were the major food source for the Canab(Carib)indians, from which we get the word “Cannibals”.
Colombus recorded how his men found a Canab camp with captive pregnant Arawak women in cages. The Canabs considered newborn Awarak babies a delicacy. Yummy!
