History

St.Vincent and the Grenadines was first inhabited by a native tribe called the "Caribs". They were known throughout the Caribbean as being one of the fiercest tribes of the entire Caribbean. They initially lived on the larger islands in the more Northern territories such as Jamaica and Cuba. But as a result of the British settlers and the process of Colonizationation, the Amerindians were forced to move and settle in the smaller more southern Islands like St.Vincent. After the British moved down to St.Vincent, the island was divided having one half owned and ruled by the British crown and the Caribs ruling the other half. The indigenous people who settled in St.Vincent were called the "Garifuna People". The chief of the Garifuna tribe was called "Joseph Chatoyer".Who was said to be a bit of a ladies man as he was said to have said more than wife.There was a large battle over the island of St.Vincent, however the British settlers won as result of having more man power  as well as having more advanced weaponry. The chief died 14^th of March 1795.The British crown ruled St.Vincent until they gained independence in  27^th of October 1979.We celebrate independence every year ! We have marching bands and the people are very proud of their heritage.

These are called Petroglyphs which are carvings done by the Native people of St.Vincent
