Dominica

Antoine's view

Dominique is an island that has remained intact, it is a testimony to the original Lesser Antilles...
there are reasons why the island has been so preserved.
The Indians of the Caribbean, dreaded for their hostility and the the deadly acid poison they used to coat their arrows, discouraged any attempt of colonization up until the XVIII'th century.

Their reputation for having anthropophagic tendencies along with the difficult access to the island made colonization a trying task. this alone has saved the Caribbean indians from extinction.

The last american indians now live in a protected territory - Carib Territory- made up of three villages.
The survivors of the pre columbian population, parents of the Mayas, now devote themselves today to their crafts, their ancient language has almost been forgotten. In the Dominican Islands, nature has not lost its vigor or its power to conquer.
