Carib people
After checking each island, Warner decided that Saint Kitts would be the best-suited site for an English colony. He noted its strategic central position ideal for expansion, friendly native population, fertile soil, abundant fresh water, and large salt deposits. He and his family landed on the island and made peace with the local "Kalinago" people, whose leader was "Ouboutou Tegremante". They were part of the indigenous Carib people of the islands.
