Amerindian Trinidadian Erotic

Amerindian Trinidadians comprise approximately 0.1% of the Trinidad and Tobago population per the 2011 CSO census — approximately 1,400+ self-identified, primarily concentrated in Arima (where the Santa Rosa First Peoples Community has been recognized by the state since 1990 and where the annual Santa Rosa Festival celebrates Carib heritage). The community claims continuous descent from the pre-Columbian Carib and Arawak peoples that were the Indigenous population of Trinidad prior to Spanish colonization in 1498 and subsequent demographic disruption. Substantial genealogical continuity is documented through specific Carib-descended families and communities, though the contemporary self-identifying Amerindian Trinidadian population is small relative to the genealogical-descendant population that has been demographically absorbed into the broader Trinidad and Tobago population.
