e., people. On the Pomeroon it is said 
that their name is from aru, the word 
for cassava, for which they are believed 
to have such a reputation. The Arawak 
stock of languages is the most widely 
disseminated of any in South America. 
It begins at the south with the Guanas 
on the headwaters of the River Para- 
guay.... All the Antilles, both 
Greater and Less, were originally occu-

pied by its members, and so were the 
Bahama Islands. ... Its tribes prob- 
ably at one time occupied the most of 
the lowlands of Venezuela, whence they 
were driven not long before the discoy- 
ery [of America] by the Carib, as they 
also were from many of the southern 
islands of the West Indian Archipelago. 
The latter event was of such recent oc- 
currence that the women of the Island 
Carib, most of whom had been captured 
from the Arawak, still spoke that tongue 
(BRI, 241). About the period of the dis- 
covery of America there was an Ara- 
wakan colony in Florida (Handbook of 
Am, Indians, part 1, p. 74). Their set- 
tlements [on the Guianas] are scattered 
in an extended line, generally within 100 
miles of the sea, from the Orinoco to the 
Maroni (Br, 58).
