We Are Kalinago

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.

    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
