"Dominica, also known as Nature Island, used to be called Wai’tu kubuli by the indigenous Kalinago people pre-colonisation and chattel slavery. It means “Tall is Her Body”, a sentiment true to her immense mountain ranges. It is the only home to the endangered sisserou parrot, recently stolen without the consent of the people: a majority dispossessed Black people who are all the progeny of enslaved Africans. It is a beautiful land of many waters: rivers, stream, creeks, boiling lakes, and all the wildlife and earthen ecosystems that shape them."
