Weddings have different themes to evoke different feelings and imagery of the bride and groom. As such weddings also bring different energies with it. Fantasy to Reality Bridal Services collaborated with Avanelle Boyce of Callaloo Culture, for a productive partnership. Avanelle is known for her keen sense in capturing the moments that excite and elude us through her photography. In this particular segment, we teamed up with her, as her current project involved photography of historical sites throughout Trinidad and Tobago. Fantasy to Reality quickly seized the opportunity to be a part of this experience as this could be beneficial to our clients when selecting venues for their wedding engagement shoot, and also beneficial to Callaloo Culture as our clients can see their work, style and portfolio. They may even request their services as a professional photographer for their wedding! They are that good! In this blog we will showcase just a few venues as well as the photograph
History of The First People:
ReplyDeleteOur 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.
Excellent overview!

ReplyDeleteI 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.
