Travel Guide

I love the windswept trees and bushes lining the eastern coast.  Dominica is right in the heart of Hurricane Alley, and the vegetation here is built to withstand it.  The last direct hit was 1995, but it was Hurricane David in 1979 that did the most damage - 145mph winds killed 56 people and left 75% of the island homeless.

While you're on the island, take the time to visit the Kalinago Village for an introduction to the pre-Columbian way of life.  This model village will introduce you to traditional ways of life, including canoe building, cassava processing, basket weaving, calabash carving, and herb collection and preparation.  You can also buy lovely handicrafts such as woven Larouma baskets and carved calabash gourds.

The highlight for us, though, was a cultural dance performance by members of the Karifuna Cultural Group, whose objective is to revive and maintain the remaining aspects of the Kalinago culture.  They even invited us up on to stage to participate.

For a more in-depth and hands-on experience, consider a home stay with a local Kalinago family.  Read more at http://kalinagoterritory.com/
