Preserving Caribbean Indigenous and Endangered Languages and Cultures
Caribbean indigenous languages and their cultures have been in existence for thousands of years. In the five hundred (500) years since the arrival of Columbus, most of these languages and cultures have either disappeared or are seriously endangered. They must be preserved if we are not to lose a significant part of the heritage of mankind.
Our aim is not merely to preserve things past. Rather, we seek to be part of the process of maintaining bodies of linguistic and cultural knowledge, technologies and belief systems which can be useful to mankind in the present and the future.
