Same happened in the Carribbean, where the Tainos and Arawaks were powerless in the face of disease, mostly smallpox.

Actually, there are so few of these Indians because the Carib tribe was chowing down on them.

The Carribean sea gets it’s name from this tribe and the Spanish called them Canabs from which we get the word “Cannibal”.
