09/16/2008: "Chief of Carib tribe warns against miscegenation"
In May this year, the chief of an ancient Caribbean people came up with a drastic solution to protect their heritage - and their future.
Chief Charles Williams of the Carib - or Kalinago - people of Dominica said they should not marry non-Kalinago people.
"The impact of colonisation has been so strong on us that if we do not take steps to protect the race, it will be soon extinct," he said.
Extinct is a word that the academics who study this people would never use, but Chief Williams has little doubt that the Kalinago could be in danger of disappearing altogether.
[ The Carib are Amerindians. They lived in the Caribbean before Whites came, bringing negro slaves. It is good that they are aware of the need to preserve their ethnicity. ]
