    but people that not traditional kalinago wear that’s traditional clothes from the northern US Indian tribes what is the culture coming to when we have to copy someone else own and say its ours u all need to look up the old real real real old paintings in places like the french and London museums of natural history and see what there traditional wear was and i can guarantee u that that is not what they used to wear

      You are probably blind. Nowhere did they said it is Kalinago traditional wear…..it said “Kalinago children wearing indigenous wear.” Indigenous is a very broad term…it does not mean Kalinago wear.

        why people have to be so negative. just too innocent children wearing indigenous wear. so why the person calling themself “ME” have to find fault in that. they are so cute.

      You appear to be so well informed I would think you would know the difference between “there & their” and more importantly using it acurrately and appropriately. Be inspired!

    Yes my people!!!!!!!! Something which should be encouraged!!!!!!!!! I have always observed that the adults do not seem proud enough to dress in their traditional wear and this is warming to the heart!!! Remember, when the tourists and others see you as a people, you should stand out TALL AND PROUD!!!!!!!!!! Let us hope that the adults will begin to see the need for this trend to continue and grow and that someone will lead the way to making the Kalinago people recognize that special place which they hold in our land!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!1 May this grow from strength to strength!!!!!!!! We love you Dominica!!!!!!!!! Happy Creole Day, Happy Independence!!!!!!!!

    How cute. Go my Kalinago people. Bring back your heritage. Our culture is so unique, what a sight to behold having the Kalinago and the African decendants together portaying Dominica’s culture.

    Thats a great idea. When we celebrate independence day they should celebrate Kalinago day, take advantage of the holiday already there.

      Good idea my friend.Now thats something for the minister for kalinago affairs as well as the entire leadership to consider.
