He used the opportunity to call on policymakers to create an institution where Kalinagos can have access to such facility. &#8220;We have little or no access to credit and we cannot depend on handouts,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Auguiste said a number of Kalinagos are graduating from institutions of higher learning and they will be able to contribute to community development if they have access to credit facilities.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to efforts by the community to establish a radio station for the past 17 years which according to him, have been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>The theme for World Indigenous Day this year is \u201cIndigenous Media, Empowering Indigenous Voices&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The activities will take place from the August 9 to the 12 in the Kalinago Territory and are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>August 9 &#8211; a discussion on the theme for the year. \u201cIndigenous Media, Empowering Indigenous Voices&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>August 10 &#8211; a panel discussion on the topic \u2018The impact of the UN declarations on Indigenous People.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>August 11 &#8211; a show at the Old Boxing Plant site dubbed \u2018Kalinago Got Talent.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>August 12 &#8211; an invitation to Kalinago People, their relatives and friends who reside out of the Territory to spend the day in the Kalinago Territory.
