We present structural and kinematic evidence pointing to a gravitational interaction between the two Magellanic Clouds. We discuss, in particular, the results of our kinematic survey of carbon stars in the periphery of the LMC. Stars with peculiar velocities, in the LMC southwest, are identified as part of debris left on the SMC orbit around the LMC.
