[Derwent Intense ink pencils on water colour paper - Happy First People's Holiday]
[Inspiration]
Today in Trinidad and Tobago we celebrate First People's Day as a Public Holiday remembering our Amerindian Ancestors who had been living as many as 6000 years here, before the colonizers arrived. We still retain some place names like Rivers: Caroni and Oropouche. Also some Foods remain such as Cassava and Farine.
Happy First People's Day T&T
