Kalinago

The Kalinago were Indigenous communities of the Lesser Antilles, including Dominica and Saint Vincent. They resisted Spanish colonization and later fought French and English settlers for control of the islands.

In 1660 the French expelled many Kalinago from Martinique, while a treaty with France and England recognized Dominica and Saint Vincent as their reserves. After further wars, the British deported the Garifuna of Saint Vincent to the island of Roatán in 1797.
