OUR CULTURE AND PEOPLE

OUR PEOPLE

Our culture is very unique and we contaminate the outsiders with our generosity, our joy of living and seeing things differently. The Natives are a carefree, quiet and easygoing people who learned long ago to live in harmony with their natural surroundings. According to our old native islanders, each island is closed, a world on its own; native islanders consciously build social isolation to maintain their culture. Nevertheless, insularity is used as a useful tool to preserve ethnic differences: food, architecture, literature, oral traditions, music, religion, art, and language, of which the Creole language remains as key for the recovery of lost Caribbean elements.
