"Another report lends further support to the idea of warlike tendencies among these early Caribs. When the Spaniards landed on the island of Guadeloupe, they were told that the small nearby island of Montserrat had been recently depopulated by the Caribs (Chance, in Salas and Vasques 1964) (Louis Allaire).

Kalinago Migrations and Diaspora
The Kalinago did not have any migrations or diaspora at all. This is primarily because every time someone or a group of people tried to conquer their land the Caribs slaughtered and took people captive. No one not even the Spaniards were about to conquer them let alone have them moved off their homeland. The Caribs are very violent people that didn't care they hurt in the process as long as they were not hurt or moved. Essentially you could compare them to a pack of wolves. This is because they live in a pack and if there is disturbance within their pack they have no problem killing people off.
