    History of The First People:
    Our Amerindians were the earliest people to settle in Trinidad and Tobago and as such are celebrated as the First Peoples, the Indigenous Peoples of our twin-island nation.
    There has been a continuous Amerindian presence in Trinidad for almost 11,000 years. The population included eight (8) ethnic peoples belonging to three language families.
    • The Waraowitu and the Chaguanes who spoke Warao
    • The Aruaca and Sheba who spoke Arawak
    • The Nepuyo, Yao and Karina all of whom spoke the Carib language
    • The Kalinago or Island Carib of Tobago who spoke an Arawakan language
    Our ancestors owned and named many places in Trinidad and Tobago. Many of these names have survived to date such as:
    • Natural features such as Tapana, Nariva and the Aripo mountains; the Aripo and Tamana Caves; the Caroni, Oropouche and Ortoire rivers
    Arima and Siparia, two large Amerindian mission towns have given us our two oldest festivals: The Santa Rosa festival and La Divina Pastora.

      I had the privilege of attending the screening of the 3 films on our indigenous peoples and it was well attended with approximately 100 patrons at each screening. It was heartwarming to view local director/filmmaker Tracy Assing's film "The Amerindian". A well documented account of the Caribs in Santa Rosa and their history.
