Together with Aruba and Curaçao it forms a group referred to as the ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles, the southern island chain of the Lesser Antilles. The name Bonaire is thought to have originally come from the Caquetio word 'Bonay'. The early Spanish and Dutch modified its spelling to Bojnaj and also Bonaire, which means "Good Air". Coat of Arms Bonaire's capital is Kralendijk. Original inhabitants Bonaire's earliest known inhabitants were the Caquetio Indians, a branch of the Arawak who came by canoe from Venezuela in about 1000 CE. Archeological remains of Caquetio culture have been found at certain sites northeast of Kralendijk and near Lac Bay. Caquetio rock paintings and Location of Bonaire (circled in Red) petroglyphs have been preserved in caves at Spelonk, Onima, Ceru Pungi, and Ceru Crita- Coordinates: 12°9′N 68°16′W Cabai.
