Main Goals of
the Carib Community
©1998,
Santa Rosa Carib Community, All Rights Reserved. Reproduced here as per
the brochure.
-
The Carib Community has been seeking a significant
grant of land since the mid-1970s--a forested area with frontage in Arima
that would permit the construction of a model Amerindian Village, the growth
of an independent cassava culture, and the further development of Amerindian
traditions.
-
With a model Amerindian Village, Trinidad's Caribs
would provide visitors with a combined Eco-Tourist and Cultural Tourism
package that would emulate similar efforts underway in Dominica and, reportedly,
St. Vincent.
-
The Carib Community would like financial assistance
in furthering exchange relationships with their Amerindian kin in the Caribbean,
permitting regular travel and extended stays.
-
The Carib Community would, ideally, like to host long-term
guests from neighbouring Amerindian communities in the Caribbean
-
The Carib Community is in the process of launching
a Permanent Amerindian Resource Centre and is asking for financial assistance
and the provision of modern multimedia equipment so as to further serve
the wider national and international publics.[NB: This Resorce Centre has now
been launched, as of 28 August 2002]
-
The Carib Community is asking the government of Trinidad
and Tobago to officially proclaim a national commemorative day in remembrance
of the Amerindian Heritage of Trinidad and Tobago. This has also been granted.
See the documents sections of this website.
