====Conflict with the Kalinago==== The Caribbean island of Saint Kitts was colonized by British, French and Irish settlers in 1623, upsetting the native Kalinago tribe. The Kalinago chief [[Tegremond]] began plotting to kill the settlers in 1626 out of fear they would [[Kalinago Genocide|massacre]] his people. However, the settlers were informed and decided to take pre-emptive action against the natives. Tegremond and his tribe were invited to a feast, where the settlers got them drunk before allowing them to return to their village. The settlers then attacked the village and killed 120 Kalinago, including Tegremond, while they were in a drunken stupor. The following day, 4,000 Kalinago were rounded up and forced up to what is now known as Bloody Point. The Kalinago fought back, leading to the killings of half of the captives. The other 2,000 managed to escape into the mountains, where they were hunted down and either enslaved or forcibly removed to Dominica. During the colonization of the Leeward Islands, the Kalinago engaged in conflicts against the British and French settlers and destroyed their plantations in an attempt to expel them from the islands. In 1660, the British and French signed the Saint Charles treaty to expel the Kalinago to Dominica and Saint Vincent, which served as reserves for the native Caribs. On Saint Vincent, a series of wars took place between the Kalinago and the British until the resistance was finally crushed in 1797 and the natives were deported to the island of Roatan off the coast of Honduras.
