Thank you for such an insightful article. In one of my recent visits to the island, I had a cousin to serve as my tour guide and one of the things I told him was that the historical aspect of the island needs to be shared with visitors. I also mentioned that this would be a positive way to create jobs and to bring money into the Cat Island economy.
I am a direct descendant of Cat Island and as mentioned, my knowledge comes from stories that have been handed down throughout the generation. I would love to see the island advertised more on a national level and to see money spent to spruce it up. It is my desire that the love for Cat Island and the cultural pride continues to flourish in its people and the nation at large.
