The Caribbean Amerindian Centrelink (or CAC) as its name implies, is a central link to a wide range of websites that either focus upon or shed light upon the Native peoples of the Caribbean and circum-Caribbean. The website endeavours to provide a venue of communication for these peoples and also offers a variety of research, including histories, news and articles about Native Caribbean peoples, educational resources, on-line surveys, and discussions of problems and prospects for Caribbean Amerindians and their descendants all over the world. It aims to provide content and build community at the same time.

In addition, the CAC is the only resource that seeks to gather and organize all possible sites about and by Caribbean Amerindians. In organizing these sites into categories, the CAC helps to shed light on the range of content available online. The CAC is limited only by what is currently available on the Internet.
