  • During the summer of 2016 we had the honor of being the guests of the Kalinago; the indigenous people of the Caribbean island of Dominica. We Are Kalinago is a short documentary about this fierce tribe who have overcome adversity since the time of their ancestors.

    We have Carib communities in St. Vincent. My Dad is a proud Carib. Also, our national hero was a Garifuna by the name of Joseph Chatoyer.

    My wife is from Dominica. She also is kalinago. We are going back to Dominica to visit soon. Very excited to visit her country. I'm Chickasaw from America. Again I know I will enjoy her rich culture. Shalom

      Same people I believe. Lived in upstate NY near the Akwesasne reservation and always though the natives look exactly like my Kalinago people. I think through ages of migration "the people" settled all throughout the Americas and the Caribbean. Some mixed some stayed pure. Hence the similar features..the hair the eyes.. the nose sometimes

      No it is not your fault. And the Text books teach lies about all the Caribs being extinct. It is what I was taught also.
