Where did Arawak society develop?

The Arawak society developed chiefly in the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America around 2000 BC. They were said to have originally come from the Orinoco Delta region in present-day Venezuela, where they subsisted on simple hunting and gathering. The Arawaks were among the most widely dispersed of the native people of the Caribbean, and their language group is believed to have provided a communication link between other indigenous groups in the region. They created large villages, built sophisticated agricultural systems, and even constructed roads and bridges.
