Dominica rejects legislating intermarriage to save Indigenous identity
By Ellsworth Carter
Roseau, Dominica (AP) The leader of the last remaining pre-Columbian tribe in the eastern Caribbean says outlawing marriage to outsiders can save Dominica’s dwindling indigenous population, but legislators are balking at deciding who can marry whom. Chief Charles Williams has asked legislators to pass a law requiring that ethnic Kalinagos marry only each other for self-preservation. He also requested that foreigners be barred from living on the 3,800-acre (1,500-hectare) reserve in the island’s northeast. |
