There's quite a bit of evidence that the Caribs were cannibals. In Columbus' accounts, the New World (actually the modern-day Bahamas) was divided between two main populations: the gentle Arawak people, whom Columbus dubbed "the best people in the world," and the fearsome Caniba, who were marauding cannibals. (The English word "cannibal" actually derives from "Caniba," aka, Caribs, a name Columbus reportedly learned from the Arawaks.)

What????

Columbus captured and enslaved the indigenous peoples. There was no cannibalism or human sacrifice in the Bahamas, he forced his superstition on them on pain of terrible tortures and death. Lavatories were bottom of his priorities.

Columbus was a liar who got lost. Not someone I would trust.
