Arawak peoples migrated to various Caribbean islands, arriving in Jamaica by the beginning of the eighth century.
The earliest signs of people on Jamaica are the remains of the Arawak, an Amerindian society that originated on the north coast of South America.
These Indians, also from South America, swept north in fast seagoing canoes, attacking and either eating or driving Arawak men off island after island, then appropriating their women.
The number of Arawak had already fallen dramatically, so the Spanish began to import slaves from Africa to work the land; the first Africans arrived in 1517.
The Spanish immediately began subjugating the Arawak population, many of whom died under the yoke of oppression and of diseases carried by the Europeans.
