Welcome to the beautiful Kalinago Territory in Dominica. This area along the island’s east coast was established back in the 20th century after European colonization forced the Kalinago people off their ancestral lands. A land of bush doctors, carved totems, and plant medicine, this culture has remained relatively unchanged over the centuries. Join me and let’s explore this vibrant culture on the island of Dominica!
KALINAGO TERRITORY: After briefly checking out some info on the Kalinago at the Visitors Center, we met a local woman who makes crafts. We watched as she showed me how she weaves baskets. I also got a look at the other crafts she makes, including jewelry, carved calabash shells, woven hats, and masks made from ferns! We also visited a group of carved totems and got a nice view of the ocean.
DANIEL CASSAVA: At this roadside shop, I met Daniel, the pioneer of making cassava bread in Dominica. He made some fresh coconut cassava bread for us, which was crispy and sweet, and a little gooey on the inside!
JACKO FALLS: After driving to a gift shop and a small shop, we headed to Jacko Falls, a waterfall down a slippery flight of stone steps in the jungle. It’s beautiful and peaceful, and the perfect place to take your shoes and socks off and go wading! We also saw some crabs, fish, and lizards there!
