Others who have benefited from the power systems and have referred or proximal power belong to the higher socio-economic and business classes who enter convenient and self serving relationships with the governments of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Invariably, it can be argued that the Caribs have been left out of true representation at the highest levels.\u00a0 The people of the eight (8) hamlets in the north east totaling an area of land mass about 3,700 acres are\u00a0 now beginning to rewrite their history, advocate, articulate and document\u00a0\u00a0 their stories of struggles and\u00a0 progress\u00a0 in authentic ways with dignity and authority.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, the antiquated fa\u00e7ade of petty bourgeois and unprogressive partisan politics as we know it in Dominica is beginning to crack and a new kind of democratic politics is dawning. Giving the Caribs their own ministry is one of the last frontiers of defeating the antiquated\u00a0 and ineffective colonial hierarchical style system as it relates to our first nation people. But how much autonomy and independence does that office hold?<\/p>\n<p>In spite of the fact that petty partisan politics will continue to be well and alive in Dominica and in the near future, it must be demoted in its current destructive forms and styles. Political change, thinking and reform in Dominica today must carve out more space for innovativeness and progressive trends in every aspect of society regarding civic (not political) and civil debate and discourse. This development must continue if we are to be respected in the League of Nations in the modern era.<\/p>\n<p>During the Dominica Freedom Party administration, the Caribs articulated the conceptual and organizational key to real democracy quite clearly: Autonomy and full recognition. While the vague concept of an autonomous Carib nation alarmed the government with thoughts of an independent community within the country, this writer thought otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>The way to organize autonomy can vary widely without causing any alarm, apprehension or division within our country. Carib autonomy is not just a political issue, but also a legal one as well. The autonomy of special communities of ethnic groups of special regions is the only possible basis for true pluralism that is truly democratic.<\/p>\n<p>Autonomy for the Kalinago people and territory does not necessary mean the fragmentation of our country.\u00a0 The politics of autonomy simply redefines the structuring of old persuasive, accepted\u00a0\u00a0 and accustomed (old-fashion) dynamics and rules of value, habit and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Autonomy celebrates a vision of continuous dialogue and interaction within an ever-changing community of communities. Today Carib political leadership (of all stripes and colours) has placed community autonomy high on its agenda. This new paradigm is also at the center of the development and a renaissance and renewal of Carib community consciousness and identity. Indigenous autonomy means economic self\u2013determination, social, legal and political autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>This notion of autonomy recognizes local and ethnic differences and is not based on a notion of rights, partition of country, needs, culture and desires. Instead, it is based on a plurality of political, economic and cultural systems. The conception of autonomy and full recognition, respect and dignity for the Carib people show that we allow and care for truly democratic practices in Dominica that accept and foster differences, dialogue and harmony amongst our people.<\/p>\n<p>At La Plaine School I remembered the joy I experienced every morning looking at a giant picture of Queen Elizabeth which hung on the wall as we joyfully sang, \u2018God save our gracious Queen; there will always be England and long live Britannia\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Today our students ought to enjoy singing, \u2018God save the pure Carib Indians and Kalinago Territory our first people and nation\u2019. My dad who grew up on the edge of the territory in Jalousie, Castle Bruce, told me about the disrespect , harassment and ridicule that the Carib people faced by the police, courts, government and people in the 30s, 40, 50s and 60s. Today the Kalinago nation, people, lands and votes can no longer be taken for granted.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one reason why the 2012 carnival queen victory of the 19 year old Kalinago beauty that has aspirations of becoming a lawyer was very fitting and timely. The queen spoke about the painful history of her people. She said during the competition, \u2018They have been taken advantage of and have over the years been fooled, disrespected, used and abused by people. But today Caribs will no longer (\u2018No Mas\u2019)\u00a0 be fooled. Caribs are now (VIP)-Very Important People and gone to the next level. They are teachers, doctors and more\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations Queen Lando on your brilliant performance and achievement and on a fine job of representing the Kalinago Nation very well. Your are indeed an eloquent and articulate spokesperson for your people.\u00a0 Always keep in mind that that you are carrying the full weight of your people, history and future with that crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Behind a facade of pluralism, democracy in Dominica has always been confined to those who have political power.
