NEW LAND: THE KALINAGO DREAM
Produced by: Teddy D. Frederick Tom Heinemann
For 500 years we have been hearing about the myth of the extinction of the Indigenous people in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean, who have lived in the protected community of the Kalinago Territory for generations. The present population is estimated to be about 3000 people.
Despite the harrowing experience of European invasion and colonialism beginning with Christopher Columbus, the Kalinago have survived these destructive genocidal attempts and are still here today celebrating their history and culture.
New Land chronicles the stories of resistance, resilience, survival, and celebration of the Kalinago Territory that are told in their voices and from their perspectives. The story unfolds around the life of Honorable Minister Cozier Frederick as the first representative of the Kalinago in the Dominica national government who is working towards the improvement of the socio -economic condition, the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage of the people of the Kalinago Territory.
