    The document summarizes aspects of life for the indigenous peoples of Trinidad and Tobago known as the Amerindians or Arawaks. It describes that the Amerindians invented the hammock, which is a bed that swings and was made from woven fibre or cotton hung between two poles. It also outlines that the Amerindians lived in houses called Ajoupas that were made from materials like mud, straw, bamboo and leaves and were well-adapted to their surroundings. For transportation, the Amerindians used dugout canoes cut from tree trunks and paddles, as they had no large domesticated animals.
