Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Kalinago Territory" in English language version.
Those vigorously promoting the use of Kalinago say the name Carib is laden with derogatory connotations, and its use does not foster a sense of ethnic pride "among the Kalinago people".
The term "Carib" has its roots in colonial times, first utilized to refer to the indigenous people of Dominica as cannibals, and is laden with derogatory connotations. Accordingly its continued use does not foster a sense of ethnic pride among the Kalinago people, and hinders attempts to increase the awareness and appreciation of Kalinago people and their contributions by the Dominican community-at-large.
In all fairness Carib served as a derogatory connotation given by white conquerors that even extended the insult to label the Kalinagos cannibals.
