Tourist soon discover that St. Maarten has an intriguing history. Ancient artifacts found on the island date back to the Stone Age, 6000 years ago! Tourists also learn that 1,200 years ago the Arawak Indians inhabited all the islands of the West Indies and were a peaceful people living under the guidance of their chiefs. Three hundred years after Arawaks first arrived on St. 40 Maarten. in the 1300s, they were defeated and forced to abandon the island by a hostile tribe of Indians originating in South America. This new tribe was called the Carib. The Caribbean Sea was named after them. Unlike the Arawaks, they had no permanent chiefs or leaders, except in time of strife. And they were extremely warlike. Worse, they were cannibalistic, eating the enemy warriors they capture. In fact, the very word cannibal comes from the Spanish name for the Carib Indians. The Spanish arrived in the fifteenth century and, unfortunately, they carried diseases to which the Indians had no immunity. Many Indians succumbed to common European illnesses: others died from the hard labor forced upon them.
