Carib Queen (original) (raw)

The Carib Queen is the leader of the indigenous community in Trinidad and Tobago. The Queen, whose title was established in 1875, is based at the Santa Rosa First Peoples Community in Arima, Trinidad and Tobago. The position is a lifetime appointment. The use of "Carib" in the title "Carib Queen" is meant to represent all people of indigenous Amerindian descent in Trinidad, rather than referring specifically to ethnic Caribs.
