St. Lucia Videos from St. Lucia by Kirk – Exploring Saint Lucian History as part of the 12 Month “I Am Lucian” Webinar Series

The I Am Lucian Webinar Series is an Official Saint Lucia Independence 43 Activity. Unlike other independence activities that only exist around the time of our independence date in February, this activity runs for an entire year with a new webinar on the last Thursday of every month. This allows for deeper engagement as come together to explore the essence of what makes us Lucian, and how we might use insights gained to propel us to being the best that we can be.

In this video we explore the Ma Lenton River in Dugard, Micoud where there is a vertical shaft through the ground that allows one to disappear from the river bed below and re-appear 50 feet above the river. It is clear that this shaft is man-made and through an understanding of our history it is fair to surmise that this shaft was created by the freedom Fighters who rejected slavery and waged guerilla warfare against the European colonizers.

Bringing stories such as this to light is important in helping us appreciate the ingenuity and resilience of our forebears. By seeing them in such positive light we can find greater value in ourselves. By exploring and showcasing our history from the perspective of those persons whose stories have never been told a fresh new light is shone on who we really are, and this can be powerfully cathartic.
