             Information

Dominica remains the only Eastern Caribbean country that still has a population of native pre-Columbian Caribs. There are only 3,000 Caribs remaining in the world, and they live in villages on the eastern cost of the island.

Dominica has three times the average number of centenarians of developed countries. This interesting fact is being investigated.
