The earliest signs of people on Jamaica are the remains of the Arawak, an AmerIndian society that originated on the north coast of South America. Arawak peoples migrated to various Caribbean islands, arriving in Jamaica by the beginning of the eighth century. They were peaceful and lived by "slash-and-burn" farming. For meat, they bred pigs and ate iguana, both native to the island. They were highly skilled in such manual activities as thatching and weaving. In fact, the hammock was an AmerIndian invention that remains with us today; it is an object which, more than any other, evokes an image of a warm sunny day on a tropical isle. The Arawak left a legacy of paintings in places such as Runaway Caves near Discovery Bay, and shards of pottery found at their settlements near Nueva Sevilla and Spanish Town have added a little to our knowledge about them. Over 200 Arawak sites have been identified, and it is said that when the Spanish arrived in Jamaica there were approximately 100,000 Arawak living on the island. They called Jamaica "Xaymaca" ("land of wood and water"). Columbus and the Arrival of Europeans Columbus first arrived in Jamaica on 5 May 1494 at Discovery Bay, where there is now a small park in his honor. He stayed for only a few days but returned in 1502, landing here when the ships of his fleet became unserviceable; he waited at St. Ann's Bay for help to arrive from Cuba. After the death of Columbus in 1505, Jamaica became the property of his son Diego, who dispatched Don Juan de Esquivel to the island as Governor. Esquivel arrived in 1510 and created a base called Nueva Sevilla near St. Ann's Bay, from which he hoped to colonize the rest of the island. The Spanish immediately began subjugating the Arawak population, many of whom died under the yoke of oppression and of diseases carried by the Europeans. A number of them committed suicide rather than live the life created for them by the Spanish. The site of Nueva Sevilla proved to be unhealthy and mosquito-ridden, and in 1534 the Spanish founded Villa de la Vega, today known as Spanish Town. Pig breeding was the main occupation of these early settlers, but they also planted sugar cane and other crops that required large numbers of laborers. The number of Arawak had already fallen dramatically, so the Spanish began to import slaves from Africa to work the land; the first Africans arrived in 1517. 

According to the above paragraph, the correct answer to the question "Who called Jamaica "Xaymaca" ("land of wood and water")?" is "AmerIndian"?

De tidigaste tecknen på människor på Jamaica är resterna av Arawak, ett amerindianskt samhälle som har sitt ursprung på Sydamerikas nordkust. Arawakfolken migrerade till olika karibiska öar och anlände till Jamaica i början av 700 - talet. De var fredliga och levde av "snedstreck-och-bränna" jordbruk. Till kött födde de upp grisar och åt leguan, båda inhemska på ön. De var mycket skickliga i sådana manuella aktiviteter som kikning och vävning. Hammocken var faktiskt en amerindiansk uppfinning som finns kvar hos oss i dag; den är ett föremål som mer än något annat väcker en bild av en varm solig dag på en tropisk ö. Arawak efterlämnade ett arv av målningar på platser som Runaway Caves nära Discovery Bay, och skärvor av keramik som finns på deras bosättningar nära Nueva Sevilla och spanska staden har lagt lite till vår kunskap om dem. Över 200 Arawak-platser har identifierats, och det sägs att när spanjorerna anlände till Jamaica bodde det cirka 100 000 arawak på ön. De kallade Jamaica för "Xaymaca" ("land av trä och vatten"). Columbus och européernas ankomst Columbus anlände först till Jamaica den 5 maj 1494 till Discovery Bay, där det nu finns en liten park till hans ära. Han stannade bara några dagar men återvände 1502, och landsteg här när fartygen i hans flotta blev odugliga; han väntade vid St Ann's Bay på hjälp att komma fram från Kuba. Efter Columbus död 1505 blev Jamaica hans son Diegos egendom, som skickade Don Juan de Esquivel till ön som guvernör. Esquivel anlände 1510 och skapade en bas vid namn Nueva Sevilla nära Sankt Ann's Bay, varifrån han hoppades kunna kolonisera resten av ön. Spanjorerna började genast underkuva arawakernas befolkning, av vilka många dog under förtryckets ok och av sjukdomar som bars av européerna. Ett antal av dem begick självmord i stället för att leva det liv som spanjorerna skapade för dem. Platsen för Nueva Sevilla visade sig vara ohälsosam och myggriden, och 1534 grundade spanjorerna Villa de la Vega, idag känd som Spanish Town. Svinuppfödning var den huvudsakliga sysselsättningen för dessa tidiga nybyggare, men de planterade även sockerrör och andra grödor som krävde stort antal arbetare. Arawaks antal hade redan sjunkit dramatiskt, varför spanjorerna började importera slavar från Afrika för att bruka landet; de första afrikanerna anlände 1517. Det korrekta svaret på frågan "Vem kallade Jamaica "Xaymaca" ("trä- och vattenlandet") är enligt ovanstående paragraf?" Är "Amerindian"? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
