Great history.I've always been looking for the real true full history please keep these records epically from a historian like him because he a credited scholar. We take things for granted to much epically in svg, someone should be keeping records of his interviews or lectures. Post importantly a small history museum of important critical history records, including books.
Just came across this discussion. I am thinking, there’s someone there that I know. Then I remembered Molton Sayers from Colonarie RC school. 1979 l was a staff member. Good to see you are doing a great job educating us
One more piece of information. The first play attributed to an African American was rhe struggles of king chatowa. It was written in 1823, by a Mr Brown. No info on wether he was a garifuna.
Wow. I heard the Doctor mention Robert Milton Cato, former Prime Minister of St. Vincent. Cato was my uncle 2x removed, brother of my great, great grandmother. Thanks for this interview. I just subscribed to the channel.
Wait, My family is from barrouallie? My great grandmothers name was Annie Fraser. She died giving birth to my grandmother and left no information? I do understand that it’s a common name in carribean but it’s funny I ended up here after watching a bunch of ancestry videos😄
That name is not on St. Vincent. Most likely cane into families well over 150 years ago when the Garifuna started mixing with the Spanish. Check your family tree to see how far back that name goes.
Very Interesting - was like listening to my Dad talking (he was born in Bequia and grew up in St Vincent) - He said his mothers' ancestors were the "Arawaks and Black Caribs" - Her family name was Bainoe. (not 100% sure on spelling) I wonder if we're related to DR Fraser? That said my dad said his father's ancestors were Scottish. I've been watching a few of these videos from various sources, and it's interesting to see how some islands embrace their mixed heritage whilst other simply refuse to accept it.
I appreciate the program overall but one thing I cannot agree with is the whole escaped Africans from Barbados ended up arriving on the shores of St. Vincent. Then a ship allegedly was ship wrecked. Are we attributing the dark complexion of the natives to Africans? That doesn’t sound very logical to me. How would slaves from another continent know that an island like that existed, and how would they know if the Natives were hostile or not? I need to what sources you have to prove this notion because a prominent Garifuna elder from Guatemala clearly stated Garifuna are not from Africa. They’re indigenous to the Caribbean
@@sayersworldtv ok they were many shipwrecks. My argument isnt about a shipwreck it's about a narrative that a ship full of so called Africans changed the complexion of an entire Island. That's totally bogus!
@@s.i.nradio8634 no it's not look at America the growing population is brown simply because there is a lot of mixed race between black and other races
I am Garifuna from Honduras and I plan to visit St. Vincent one day
It will be an interesting journey to connect
I'm a Garifuna from Hopkins Belize and one day I want to visit St Vincent the land of my ancestors.
We are ready to welcome you with open arms

It’s funny how they tried to flip the story and the people still here love from the brother from the mainland
They thought us none of this in school

The time wasn’t enough there definitely has to be a part 2. Dr Fraser is very knowledgeable in our history
Very in-depth and informative presentation🇻🇨

It's not funny it's destiny. You might be connected to Dr Fraser
Stumbled across this video. Great history lessons! Thank you Dr Fraser. Cippy, how are you doing?
Glad you enjoyed the program, there are lots more like it on our channel, feel free to browse
For all Vincentians. Has the Valladares family name survived on St Vincent? That name is common among Honduran Garifuna.
Thanks for the knowledge
That name is not on St. Vincent. Most likely cane into families well over 150 years ago when the Garifuna started mixing with the Spanish. Check your family tree to see how far back that name goes.
Good suggestion

Where can I get his books?

Amazon should carry some of them as well
The man said before 1872 Carnival I always had a feeling where all that fire coming from.

There was actually a ship wreck

@@s.i.nradio8634 They believe we come from the Mali empire through DNA test
Garifunas are a mixture of Africans and natives. Their DNA has been studied and that's what it shows
