Poetry set to music. It was written around 1991-1992 in response to the quincentenary or 500-year anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival to the Caribbean. With the sentiment that there was nothing to celebrate, the poem traces the history of the Kalinago from Columbus's arrival to Kalinago people residing on a reserve.
