The Garinagu people, also known as the Garifuna and the Black Caribs, are a unique creole society that developed on the island of St. Vincent, from African, Carib, Arawak and European elements and influences. Today the Garinagu can be found throughout the world, particularly in Central America. Joseph Chatoyer was the Paramount Chief of the Garinagu at the end of the 18th century and today he is recognised today as the National Hero of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The only known artefact associated with Chatoyer is a punch ladle that was presented to the West India Committee by a Mr. MacGregor Frame in the early 20th Century.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2235 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714-1024x276.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714-768x207.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714-1536x415.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiacommittee.org\/historyheritageculture\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chatoyers-Ladle-2-scaled-e1709742173714-2048x553.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Garinagu &amp; Chatoyer's Punch Ladle\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VnPhR0AQ8L0\" width=\"422\" height=\"317\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>As part of a project, generously supported by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagefund.org.uk\/\">National Lottery Heritage Fund<\/a>, we have produced an e-book, written by David Wells, about the history of Joseph Chatoyer, the ladle and the Garinagu people.
