i dont know when or how amerindians came to T&T but on the 31st of July 1498 on his third voyage Christopher Columbus "discovered" (i use this term lightly cause there were already Amerindians settled here so unless history only begins with ppl from Europe then perhaps the correct term should be stole from the Amerindians) Trinidad. Columbus was navigating on behalf of Spain but if I am not mistaken he was born in Italy. About the Amerindians well they were mainly Caribs and Arawaks- with respect to clothing well i dont have a photo but i know there were lots of feathers on it - try doing an online search for carib /arawak clothing or 'what the Caribs wore'
