	In Saint Vincent, Red Caribs often identify as both Garifuna and Kalinago, reflecting the fact that no formal split occurred on the island. The divergence between Garifuna and Kalinago only happened after the 1797 British deportation of Black Caribs to Central America. Red Caribs are simply lighter Garifuna with roughly half Indigenous ancestry or simply phenotypically presents in that way for example a One-Eigth European & Quarter Indigenous Garifuna could be considered Red Carib or even a Half Garifuna and Half Mestizo which is mainly based on Facial Structure and skin tone, while Black Caribs are about one-quarter Indigenous, and Yellow Caribs are either triracial or majority Indigenous-admixed.

			Specific Regions of Popularity: Punta Gorda (Belize), Mosquitia (Coastal Nicaragua), La Ceiba (Honduras, Caribania Region).

	\| traits = Medium to dark copper-brown. The skin exhibits a distinct warm, reddish, or golden-bronze undertone Dark brown to black. Texture ranges from tightly wavy (Type 2C) to coiled/curly (Type 3B/3C). It lacks the strict linearity of purely Indigenous populations but is looser than typical West African hair textures. Meso- to euryprosopic (medium to broad facial index). The facial structure is robust with highly prominent, wide malar bones (cheekbones) that provide a distinct lateral width to the midface, a strong Indigenous indicator. The jawline is squared in males and rounded but well-defined in females. Dark brown. Almond-shaped with moderate lateral elongation. The eyes are relatively deep-set, and while prominent epicanthic folds are largely absent, the upper eyelid often has a heavier, thicker appearance typical of heavily admixed Amerindian populations. Mesorrhine to platyrrhine (medium-wide to broad). The nasal bridge is moderately elevated—higher than typical Sub-Saharan African phenotypes but lower and wider than European or purely Centralid phenotypes. The nasal tip is fleshy, and the alae (nostrils) are flared. Macrodontic tendency with full, everted lips (both upper and lower). The philtrum is well-defined. Mesocephalic to slightly brachycephalic (medium-round to short-headed), retaining the broader cranial vault common in Indigenous Central and South American populations. Mesomorphic. Tending toward a solid, muscular, and robust skeletal frame with broad shoulders.		\| traits = Medium to dark copper-brown.

| description = Red Caribs historically span from Central America to Saint Vincent. Today, they are present in communities across Central America and in some individuals in Dominica, but the largest concentration remains in Saint Vincent. On a per capita basis, Red Caribs are most numerous in Saint Vincent, though in absolute numbers the Garifuna—descendants of Red Caribs deported to Central America—are largest there whereas a lot of Red Caribs are also in Coastal Nicaragua (Due to Historical Miskito admixture).
