Dominica's Carib Indians and tourism

- The Caribbean island of Dominica is often confused with the Dominican Republic or simply forgotten about altogether, but it is a place that has its own unique charm. Its known as the Nature Island because of its amazing environment, but its also home to one of the last groups of Carib Indians, the Caribbeans indigenous people. The Caribs lived here before Christopher Columbus arrived in the Americas. Since then, their numbers have dwindled to almost zero in much of the region because of years of brutal treatment from the Spanish, French and British - but in Dominica, hope remains. In the early 20th century, when only about 500 Caribs were left, a 3700 acre territory was established for them on the islands east coast. Now they number around 3000. This video looks at the effect tourism has on Carib culture.
I'm a Carib/Black mixed from Dominica =D. My mum is a Carib and my dad is black. It feels good being part of this wonderful people. Sure wish I go visit again.
Go visit africa bitch
Having a Dominican father of Carib descent and living in the UK, I'm glad to hear that people are becoming more interested in the Caribbean, when I'm at school and I say I'm from Dominica people go "Where's that?". It's nice to know people are learning and experiencing
Nice I am from the sister island of dominica which is St.lucia ! im of Amerindian descent also black european and east indian !! thats really nice keeping the culture alive i wish they could do that in all the islands !! but e still have some of their culutre within ours so Vive amerindians !!
@Brian Figueroa africans didnt come to rape and steal identities, they were brought here against their will, they were victims too. the europeans are the ones to be blamed..at the end of the day we are mixed, we cannot choose..its the different cultures who make us who we are today.
This country is beautiful , and so much history attached to these islands !! 😃
Love live Caribs
1:42 so true because my mom Is from Trinidad but she's mix with Portugese, and Carib/St.vinect
And my dad is From Jamaica and he's Chinese & Jamaican
I desend from the kalingo directly from my great grandmother in Dominica 🇩🇲💯
I wish my grandma taught me about my Carib side or at least taught my dad
not necessarily, the caribs are from the lesser antilles which are the long part of volcanic island arc in the western hemisphere in the caribbean sea & the north part of south america. The caribs are descendants of the Amerindian and also the women were of Arawakan descent. I have studied this history for years because I wanted to trace my lineage since 1999.....PEACE
GOOD COMMENTARY.
:) my family ahhhh and my cousin is the chief well well ._. I miss home :( non caribbean people get the spanish D.Republic mixed up with us no no we speak broken french and we are no ordinary indians we are caribs. I'm mix spanish and indian carib but ! i love DA more
These are the indians that kicked my ancestors ass!! (I'm a Taino descendant)
Dominica is a mix of Amerindian, Black, South Asian, White, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern, Zambo, Mestizo, And Pardo
My mother is a Carib Indian. Her father was a Carib from Dominica. I just did an Ancestry DNA test for her and substantial amounts of Asian, Native American and Polynesian were in her results..
that's so cool! do you mind sharing the percentages? I watch a lot of Ancestry reveal videos on RUclips and I don't think I've ever seen a Caribbean with very high native american DNA results. it would be interesting to hear your mom's breakdown.
The Polynesian is probably related to Malagasy enslaved ancestors that we're taken to the Caribbean
Interesting!
+p t
Malagasy people are of AUSTRONESIAN and Continental African descent.
Not Polynesian, AUSTROnesian
I smell Spanish speakers from Spain getting angry
I'm they same pattern I miss home so bad right ahh :(
@XeIpherpolis Kalinagos and Tainos also traded and had moments of peace. Don't believe everything the history books say!
They are mix!!!
And also in the caribbean people tend to mix Amerindians people with East indians :/ so again
***** castries/ i live at pavee :)
Just look at what happen in St Vincent there is hardly any "real " Caribs left the majority of them are mixed
Yh true but there's a few caribs there
Why is it unfortunately? Is it so bad?
I think my roots possibly be gone from there but I'm not too sure
same,
U from Dominica ?
Yeah but if the kaliango stil lmaking babies together, isn't that sort of incest? I mean, there are like 3000 kalinago's in the carib territory in Dominica, they are all related in some sort of way, because they can't marry non-kalinagos? Their 'blood' is already 'destroyed' because alot of them are mixed with black.
@XeIpherpolis Most caribs Are taino descent!
yes true
