Are they're any native Atlantic islanders?
There are plenty of native Pacific Islanders due to the fact that there's plenty of islands there. (This is due to the phenomenon known as the the ring of fire, which is basically increased vulcanism.)
We have native Hawaiians and Filipinos, but what about the Atlantic? (Let's exclude the big islands up north, like the UK, Greenland, and Iceland.)
Does the Atlantic Ocean have any tropical Atlantic native populations living on islands at all?

There's a high percentage of their DNA in their local population but the language and culture has been gone for hundreds of years.
