VIEW "HERITAGE PERSPECTIVES (ST. KITTS)" ON CULTURE BEAT SKN TV, Produced by St. Kitts Department of Culture RDU


HERITAGE PERSPECTIVES (ST. KITTS) looks at the early European visitors and settlers on St. Kitts, their impact on the first inhabitants of St. Kitts, the Kalinago (Carib)/ Amerindians, and the legacy of the predominant African/Caribbean population that remains.

In addition to this documentary,  St. Kitts Department of Culture - Research & Documentation Unit collaborated with Leiden University on a project titled “Heritage Perspectives (St. Kitts) ”, to document the opinions of Heritage Stakeholders, including; historians, researchers, and people from the community, about the following Heritage Sites; Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, Charles Fort, and Bloody Point.   View the stakeholder video interviews at the following;

"The project tries to document, archive and present the different perspectives on the multi-varied and complex heritage of the Caribbean, focused specifically on Amerindian Heritage in relation to other
forms of heritage, and within the framework of the research undertaken in the EU Nexus 1492 Project. The videos will be available in a searchable and publicly accessible database of the Nexus Project.  http://nexus1492.eu/?cat=59

In addition, the project seeks to inform local heritage management practices by visualizing the value and perspectives of stakeholders surrounding specific heritage sites in need of management, and by raising the awareness of sites though integration in local web platforms and through short
documentaries screened on TV and dissemination through social media.

On several islands, short video interviews will therefore be collected about sites and projects that are locally significant and relate as well to the research of the Nexus staff, showing how different stakeholders on the islands relate to and value different kinds of heritage. Broadly speaking, this way a better understanding can be gained about the current identifications with Amerindian heritage, (in relation to colonial and modern heritage), informing critical research on the multi-valor nature of heritage. The research will start with a pilot study on St Kitts, and is expected to be continued on
other islands in the region" Dr. Sjoerd Van der Linde
