The Amerindian indigenous people, originating in South America, settled on the island between 4000 and 1000 BC. When Juan Bejar arrived in 1494, there were over 200 villages ruled by caciques (chiefs of villages). The south coast of Bexar was the most populated, especially around the area now known as Puerto Viejo. The Bexaran National Heritage Trust is attempting to locate and document any evidence of the Amerindians.
