Nature Island 
Because Christopher Columbus first saw this island on a Sunday, 500 years ago, he named it “DOMINICA". A writer sailing with him on that day recorded: 
“Dominica is remarkable for the beauty of its mountains and its green abundance. It must be seen to be believed. ” He would say the same today. Dominica remains 
visually the most pleasing of the Caribbean islands; majestic, scenic, rich in tropic, J forests, graced with magic waterfalls, the world’s largest “boiling lake”, exotic 
bird-life, including the rare and beautiful Sisserou parrot, black and white sand beaches and stunning marine and reef life. But, perhaps, the most delightful aspect 
of the “Nature Island" is the people, a community of unparalleled civility and ur affected friendliness. Originally inhabited by the Arawak and Carib Indians, 
Dominica is still home to 3,000 Caribs. They own and live in the Carib Territory, established in 1903, and are mainly involved in agriculture. They are highly respected
