[[Dominica]] is the only Eastern Caribbean island that still has a population of pre-Columbian native [[Island Caribs|Caribs]] (also known as [[Island Caribs|Kalinago]]), who were exterminated, driven from neighbouring islands, or mixed with Africans and/or Europeans. According to the 2001 census there are only 2,001 [[Island Caribs|Caribs]] remaining (2.9% of the total population). A considerable growth occurred since the 1991 census when 1,634 [[Island Caribs|Caribs]] were counted (2.4% of the total population). 
The [[Island Caribs|Caribs]] live in eight villages on the east coast of [[Dominica]]. This special [[Carib Territory]] was granted by the British Crown in 1903.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.avirtualdominica.com/caribs.htm |title=The Carib Indians |publisher=Avirtualdominica.com |access-date=2010-06-27}}</ref>
The present number of [[Island Caribs|Kalinago]] is estimated at 4% more than 3,000.
