History Of French Guiana

The '''history of French Guiana''' spans many centuries. Before the first Europeans arrived, there was no written history in the territory. It was originally inhabited by a number of Native American peoples, among them the Kalina ( Caribs ) , Arawak, Emerillon, Galibi, Palikur, Wayampi ( also known as Oyampi ) , and Wayana. The first Europeans arrived in the expeditions of Christopher Columbus, shortly before 1500.
