About Us

Trinbago Griot is an online repository dedicated to preserving and sharing the stories, heritage, and traditions of Trinidad and Tobago. Our mission is to capture and celebrate the rich cultural history of our nation through oral histories, archival materials, and multimedia resources that reflect the diversity and vibrancy of Trinidad and Tobago’s past and present.

Trinbago Griot serves as a space where personal stories, historical events, and cultural expressions come together to deepen our understanding of Trinidad and Tobago’s unique identity. From significant historical moments like the 1970 revolution to everyday traditions and customs, we aim to document and make accessible the experiences that define our collective heritage.

 

What We Offer

At Trinbago Griot, we provide several ways to explore and engage with Trinidad and Tobago’s cultural heritage:

Oral Histories: Through recorded interviews and storytelling sessions, we preserve the voices of those who have contributed to the rich tapestry of our history. From activists and artists to community leaders and everyday citizens, these stories capture the personal experiences behind historical events and cultural practices.

Archival Resources: Our website hosts a growing collection of materials, including photos, newspaper clippings, and documents that provide context and depth to the oral histories we feature. These archives serve as valuable resources for anyone looking to understand the roots and evolution of our cultural identity.

 

Our Vision
