Mate and Fate: My Multicultural Heritage

"Toki Peak" I grew up with racially diverse families. My mother was born in Pacific Islands and French men. My parents' divorce was in 1975, so my mother's family changed. At the age of 9, the mother remarried to the British. Nine years later, my mother moved to Hawaii from her hometown Texas to join the TCU. At the age of 21 she returned to Hawaii and acquired a bachelor's degree in business accounting. When she was 23 years old she was almost 24 years old, she met my father in a club in Hawaii.

Despite its rich multicultural background, my Indian tradition has played the most important role in my growth and my own understanding. It is this tradition that reigned the tradition that I grew up and offered me information on the cultural relatives I believe. It is worth noting that the Indian movement from the subcontinent to the Caribbean / British West Indies was done before splitting. Therefore, the group of Indian-Caribbean countries generally believe that its origin is derived from a single India, regardless of whether the original territory was engraved in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or other country names.

Multicultural heritage is contained in many islands. In some parts of the Caribbean, multiculturalism is itself a cultural norm and diversity is the power of a united community. The official quarter of the Caribbean population speaks English but the largest group is Spanish (because of the Caribbean's great country), about 22% speak French, only 1% speak Dutch. However, today's Caribbean region is associated with 59 living languages, but these languages ​​are not displayed in the "Caribbean islands" but are known as the "Caribbean Continent".

Heritage plays an important role in defining culture, but culture is appropriate for your environment and where you are raising. Your tradition will adapt to your environment and become your culture. My Caribbean culture is filled with vibrant music, color, and pride. In the Caribbean, it is difficult to judge the actual culture because the cultural influences are different (multicultural society). Slave owners (French, Spanish, British), slaves (Africans), contract workers (Indian, Chinese) came to the Caribbean, all of them brought their legacy. All of these different legacies that have been combined and / or adapted to shape the West Indies we know and love (Columbus is sailing towards the Indian eastern Indian island. They are called the Caribbean of the West Indies, because they are in a new position and environment, they must adapt to their lives and understand each other because they (slave laborers and contract workers) are in a new position and environment.
