The Last Arawak girl born in Barbados - A 17th Century Tale by Damon Corrie (Eng

Description: The Last Arawak girl born in Barbados - A 17th Century Tale by Damon Corrie This short book for older children (with much information adults will also find interesting) - can be described as the most fact-filled work of fiction - about the hotly disputed Lokono-Arawak presence/non-presence in Barbados at the time of the English colonization of 1627. On the one hand, are the old school die hard academics for whom the writings of the English colonists are taken as if they are veritable Gospel truths - and woe upon anyone who does NOT have degrees to his/her name who dares to challenge their long held beliefs. However, the first English colonists of the continent of Australia also recorded that no other people inhabited the land when they arrived...a statement we ALL know to be a blatant lie. What Damon Corrie, himself arguably the most controversial - and best known voice of the Lokono-Arawak people to ever come out of the modern Caribbean, is simply stating by producing this work...is that we should all remain open-minded to the very real possibility, that a small remnant surviving group of indigenous Lokono-Arawaks (with no hint or claim of any direct connection to his own Guyana Lokono-Arawak ancestry) COULD have been extant on the east coast of Barbados, at the time the English colonists landed on the West Coast of Barbados, as for the first few decades of colonization - no English ship ever docked on the rugged and reef infested East Coast of Barbados, it is an area that still has some of the original forest that once covered the entire island, and to this day still has many year-round freshwater sources - and wild food to eat (land crabs, freshwater crabs, doves, fruit pigeons, crayfish, and numerous fruit trees) brought here by the Amerindians, and there were even more food sources in the 17th century, certainly enough to easily support a remnant surviving population of even 100 Amerindians in the rugged Scotland District of East Coast Barbados. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Damon, like his 3 older siblings, was born on the Caribbean island of Barbados. His mother Audrey named Damon after the American author Damon Runyon, and from a very young age Damon exhibited a passion and love for writing; however, like most aspiring authors Damon found it impossible to share his manuscripts with a broader audience (until he discovered draft2digital), so for over 3 decades his many works in many genres gathered dust on his bookshelf of unfulfilled dreams.Damon is a 4th generation descendant of the last traditional Hereditary Shaman Chief Amorothe Haubariria (Flying Harpy Eagle) of the Bariria Korobahado Lokono (Eagle Clan Arawaks) of Guyana, South America, Moreover, the grave of Damons great grandmother is the only known burial site of a member of Lokono-Arawak nobility in the entire Caribbean - and with a tombstone written in both the English and Lokono-Arawak language, it has become a tourist attraction in the Westbury Cemetery in the capital city of Bridgetown Barbados.Damon has the gift of premonition dreams and being able to see and communicate with deceased loved ones, and since he married back into the tribe at the age of 19 in 1992, Damon has become the most radical indigenous activists the Caribbean has produced in living memory, and his real-life escapades and supernatural experiences feature in his writings.Damon was a member of the Caribbean Caucus on the Indigenous Peoples working group of the Organization of American States (OAS) from 2000 to 2016, and helped create the Declaration of The Americas on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and he has been a registered participant of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) since 2007 (where he also co-mentors international students and writes for the Tribal Link Foundation), as well as being an autodidact journalist with news articles published in 4 continents, and a writer for the Last Real Indians indigenous media website.Damon (46) and his wife Shirling (44) have 4 living children, sons Hatuey Francis (26) and Tecumseh Shawandase (23), and daughters Sabantho Aderi (20) and Laliwa Hadali, and all live in Barbados.Damon can be followed in Instagram @eagleclanarawaks Details ISBN1393841937 ISBN-10 1393841937 ISBN-13 9781393841937 Format Paperback Year 2021 Imprint Damon Corrie Language English Publication Date 2021-04-07 UK Release Date 2021-04-07 Author Damon Corrie Publisher Damon Corrie Pages 80 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
