Main Points
Activists from Trinidad’s First Peoples community are calling for a national holiday to celebrate their heritage. The speaker said, “Those are the words. Those are the words. Those are the words.” They added that it is important to have a day to regularly recapture the story of the past so that present and future generations are always aware of their true history, where they came from, who they are, and where they hope to go. Without such support, that part of their history will soon be gone forever. The activist also expressed a personal desire to learn about their heritage and pass it on to their grandchildren, noting that many people are unaware of the First Peoples. They urge the government to recognise their culture with a dedicated national holiday.
