EULAC_6193 Santa Rosa First People’s Community Museum "The Santa Rosa First Peoples Community is the only organized area of the Amerindian Survival in Trinidad and Tobago. The Community was formally recognized as representative of the Indigenous Amerindians of the twin-island state by the National Government in 1990. The community\u2019s historical continuity is remarkable. The Santa Rosa First Peoples existed as a community since the early Spanish period, and before that, archaeological and proto-historical data indicate almost 5000 years of settlement in the island. This extraordinary continuity despite the extraordinary rupture of Spanish Conquest and Colonisation is the fundamental factor in the Community\u2019s continuing and powerful indigenous self-identification. Our mission is to facilitate the unity and development of the First Peoples of Trinidad and Tobago (social, economic, cultural) through programmes of education, research and action, and collaboration with other sectors of the population, promoting a world view of harmony with the environment.\r\n\r\nLa Comunidad de los Primeros Pueblos de Santa Rosa es la \u00fanica \u00e1rea organizada de la Supervivencia Amerindia en Trinidad y Tobago.

Esta extraordinaria continuidad, a pesar de la extraordinaria ruptura de la conquista y colonizaci\u00f3n espa\u00f1ola, es el factor fundamental en la continua y poderosa autoidentificaci\u00f3n ind\u00edgena de la comunidad.
