Abstract

Dominica is currently home to approximately 3,200 Carib or Kalinago. They named their island Oüaitoucoubouli/Waitukubuli (tall is her body). For more than two centuries, colonial forces attempted to gain control of the island, but the Kalinago met them with fierce resistance. The most devastating impact of the European invasion on Kalinago culture was on the Kalinago language. Until the 1920s, few Kalinago could speak or remember the language; the Kalinago language was rapidly replaced by French Kwéyol and, to a lesser extent, English. Today, most Kalinago are unable to speak their native language, but many Kalinago names and words remain in common use. At present, the Kalinago are strongly engaged in promoting their heritage in light of economic development to provide both direct and indirect economic gains to the residents of the community and to foster greater awareness and appreciation of the Kalinago culture. This chapter discusses the long-lasting relationship between the Kalinago communities and archaeologists with a view to contributing to these efforts. The co-creation between archaeologists and community members in all stages of research has stimulated interest in and a better understanding of the archaeological work done on the island. Moreover, it has brought together a number of Indigenous leaders and other public figures in archaeological forums for the first time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
