Visitors on a Kalinago Tour
When you leave the Territory , be sure to depart with some of the high-quality craft items skillfully made by the Kalinago artisans . These are pieces to be treasured as they are historical in nature , the art of making them having been passed down through generations dating back before Christopher Columbus ’ arrival in the Caribbean region . It is part of the heritage of the Kalinago people and each piece of craft carries with it a story , generations-old . Kalinago craft are the most authentic and sought-after souvenirs in Dominica , meticulously hand-made from 100 % local material , all grown within the Territory .
INTERACTIVE HISTORY LESSONS FOR STUDENTS
Kalinago Tours also provide interactive history lessons to students from the neighbouring islands of the Caribbean including Guadeloupe and Martinique , who travel to Dominica to engage hands-on with the island ’ s indigenous people . Kalinago Tours are also open to accommodating students from other islands and countries .
It is instructive to note that although the original way of life of the Kalinago people have been somewhat diluted over the years , thankfully , many elements of their culture have survived . The elders in the communities are unwavering in their attempts to ensure their way of life is not further dissolved by non-indigenous influences . A constant reminder of their heritage remains at the Kalinago Barana Aute which Kevin Dangleben managed until 2015 . It is a cultural village where history resides . Traditional huts , story-telling , canoe-making , cultural expressions in song and dance , cooking and many other aspects of the island ’ s indigenous people can be witnessed here .
Although Kalinago Tours are specialists of the Kalinago Territory , they also offer packages that allow visitors to enjoy other aspects of Dominica . Tours can be created according to your interests , so whether it is a visit to the island ’ s water falls , to the world-renowned boiling lake or just a scenic drive around the island , Kevin and his team knows that you deserve the experience and will make it memorable .
