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.
