that the history of the Caribbean extends thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans in 1492? European explorers did not record the long histories of the indigenous communities that were thriving in this region for centuries, yet, we have relied heavily on the written documentation of Europeans to inform the early years of our Caribbean history.

Archaeological and oral data gives us much more insight into life in these communities prior to European colonisation.

Before Christopher Columbus noticed the island of Tobago on his third voyage in 1498, there were already indigenous settlements on the island. Archaeological research has shown that shell middens recovered in the southwestern areas of Tobago are from settlements that existed since c. 3500-1000 BC. These middens are located in the Milford complex at Milford, Tobago.

They are believed to have belonged to a group archaeologists call the Ortoiroid people, who migrated to the Caribbean islands from the Orinoco valley in South America. They would have sailed from the Orinoco river to Trinidad, and then on to Tobago. This finding was made by Dutch archaeologist Arie Boomert, who was able to identify a correlation between artefacts recovered at the archaeological site of Banwari Trace in Trinidad and those found at Tobago.

Centuries later, around 100 AD, indigenous people (referred to as being from the Saladoid culture) migrated from South America to Tobago after passing through Trinidad. According to Caribbean archaeologist Dr. Basil Reid, they brought with them pottery-making and introduced crops such as corn, yams, sweet potatoes, cassava and tannia. They also had cultural exchanges with indigenous groups in Trinidad, including the trade of food and pottery.

Tobago’s location made it an important area to facilitate trade between the various indigenous groups living on the islands of the Lesser Antilles, and the groups who resided on the South American mainland.

When the human body is hungry, it eats itself, it does a cleansing process, removing all sick cells, cancer, aging cells and Alzheimer's. Keeping young and fighting diabetes. Making special proteins that only form under certain circumstances. And when they are made, the body selectively gathers around dead cancer cells, dissolves them and restores the state from which the organism benefits. This is what recycling looks like. Scientists have found through long and specialized research that the process of autophagy requires atypical conditions that force the body to do this process. These circumstances consist of abstaining from eating and drinking for 16 hours (Cycle 8/16). A human should function normally during this period. This process should be repeated for some time to reach the body for maximum use and not let sick cells reactivate. It is recommended to repeat the hunger and thirst process two or three days a week.
