Hunting in Trinidad and Tobago - a bond with the land and people.

A question conservationists always ask is “why do you hunt” and normally follow up that injury with the insult “if you wanted meat why not buy chicken!”
If only life was as black and white as that we may have known the answer to have given them long ago.
Truth be told, hunting in Trinidad and Tobago would vary from hunting in any other country and the factors that motivate us would surely differ from what motivates them. For us, the impulse that causes us to feel no hesitation in identifying as a hunter has its roots buried deep in the history of this land.
About a decade ago a paper was published in a Dutch university describing the complexities and understanding of bush medicines in Trinidad and Tobago; its practice, its history, its effectiveness and a complete scientific breakdown of the phyto chemicals found in each plant used in this field which in almost all cases connected the plant to the remedy that was sought.
Another thesis that was produced alongside this was one detailing the plants used by hunters as concoctions for dogs or for human use.
The authors of that document did extensive research on the topic citing almost one hundred and forty other books, articles and journals written in years past that showed positive confirmation of these practices and its history not only in Trinidad and Tobago but in the wider Caribbean and Amazonian region.
What was consistent throughout the thesis was a link between our current practice of herbal and other bush medicinal techniques and that of the tribal practices of existing and departed native peoples of the region and wider hemisphere. What was concluded from their observations is that much of our hunting rituals that incorporate bush medicine was indeed handed down to us from our ancestral interactions with Amerindian peoples.
In a world of corruption, capitalism, consumerism and Bambi Brigadism, one has to ask “how have we managed to retain such correct and relevant knowledge of herbal or bush medicines in spite of the raging modernisation around us and the centuries gone since our ancestors would have been actively interacting with the native peoples of this land?”
The answer to that is simple – that deep bond to the land. It is therefore understandable that that bond would also run deep in the veins of the Hunters – those who are the ones that have carried and transmitted the oral knowledge from generation to generation maintaining the connection between the Bush and ourselves!
The dilemma we face though is that the conservationist HAVE NO CARE WHATSOEVER for our point of views, our life styles, our contributions and our connections to the land. They, form groups like El Sucko (El Soccoro) Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and Papa Bois Conservation and relentlessly troll and attack us, playing on the soft emotions of this TV generation well-groomed by Disneyland to weep for the plight of Bambi!
They have shown in the past that they would rather tear hunting from the fabric of our society than to feel empathy to the thousands of seniors whose only recreation is hunting and being in the bush. They have shown their readiness to demolish the centuries of traditions built by hunters and their families and the communities formed from such in order to satiate their egos. It is a far gone understanding that the topics mentioned earlier are of little or no concern to them.
But there is hope for us hunters!
We have always acknowledged conservation and regulations as necessary for our traditions to continue. That is non disputable. We also acknowledge that there are ignoramuses among us.
However, as human diseases and medical complications begin to spawn rapidly as world population expands exponentially, the need for new, cheap, effective and available medication is also increasing. Research on traditional herbal medicines and its usage and applications have begun to rise. As science once again turns its eyes to herbal cures, we the men of the bush would be that link needed to such pathways: as the Amerindians handed it down to our ancestors, we must now pass it along to the future. We cannot simply be cut off from the land.
It is therefore incumbent upon us to step up to the table. Maybe it is time we put our factions aside and in unison fight the bombardment of the bambi brigade, protect our traditions and heritage, save or forests, swamps, savannas, marshes and bush lands and protect our interests. Let us the hunters unite and show our strength and improve ourselves and our country. Let the next generation not ask “why do you hunt?” but rather lets elevate our status that they would turn to us and say “THANK YOU FOR BEING A HUNTER!”

Man Today Yuh Dead.


“Man today yuh dead, man today yuh dead and bury, man today yuh dead and bury, who tell you to come an trouble me. Man today yuh dead, man today yuh dead and bury, man today yuh dead and bury, who tell you to come trouble me.”
And with the reverberating drums carrying the tales of the gayelle echoing in my mind, I sit here on this November day reminiscent of how the culture of stick fight could have been erased from the history of Trinidad and Tobago as the younger generations of revellers wooed by the Brazilian style nakedness and the American style cash cows have within a few years transformed the true art forms - changing, thwarting and corrupting everything till the cultural jewels like minstrel, kaiso, extempo and stick fight were almost phased out.
Probably what saved them from sure demise was the very speed at which the bombardment on the true indigenous aspects of this culture were being eroded. So quickly that generations of yesteryear were still around to tell the younger generations that something very wrong was happening. Imagine the father of Soca was alive and around to tell the first born like Iwer that they were singing rubbish. That the grand master of costume mas, still alive, told the nation he’s packing his bags and leaving: because art was being destroyed by consumerism, capitalism, lewdness and alcoholism!

With such warnings and cries it seems that some were able to pull us back from the brink of this bit of our culture becoming extinct. It seems that the bois man did get to cut the devil of “modernisation” and save himself and the gayelle – even if only for a few generations again.
But I did not come to talk of carnival culture. The parallels though to which I really wanted to mention were quite similar: another aspect of our culture that is under attack – almost to say “being poached by a skilled hunter.”
It may shock some when I say that this aspect of culture and tradition to which I mention is Hunting.
I could pause here to take on the various steups and insults and twist face that is expected of ignoramuses in this land but I won’t pause for long. Just to cut their sourness short I would clearly state that this is not a scientific piece on wildlife conservation. I think it has already been long established by those who have cared to listen to the voices in this the “hunting gayelle,” that we understand and have no problems with and are in fact the biggest advocates and supporters of conservation – period!
Like the stick fight, hunting is deep rooted into the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. Make no mistake about it, it is not a case as black and white as predator and prey.
Hunting has been entrenched into the fabric of our culture to the extent that it is quite probable that every citizen of this land has a family member or one close enough who is a hunter, or has a love of wild meat etc. Of course this in no way means that everyone is partial to hunting, but should at least be a serious point to consider by those who wish to tear this part of our heritage from our culture.
It maybe that like the fate of the stick man, the younger generations need to sit with the old folk and listen carefully to the tales they would tell. Being hunters, many of these tales would clearly need to begin with  “once upon a time,” but the general nature of them is common: they speak of the pre modern times, when the people in these islands were deeply bound to the land – to seeking from the forests and other natural sources their food and lively hood.
These tales of yesteryear speak of how hunting defined men and shaped families. They give us insight into aspects of our history that people take for granted. Of how the lives of families that depended on the hunt and the forests were built – from which small communities grew: communities that still exist today, unique in appearance and dialect and flavour. Maybe those born and raised in the concrete jungles and high societies of our islands may not be able to recognise it but do they not consider that iconic communities like Matelot, Brasso Seco, Blanchicheuse, Caigul, Tabaquite, Rio Clarro, Moruga, Guayaguare, Cedros, Erin, Fyzabad, Quinam, Tamana, Bieche, Plum Mitan – and the list can go on – would not be the same had it not been for hunting.
The tales of these old hunters can fill volumes, paint a myriad of canvases and lecture to the elite and laymen.
These stories are also indicative of change as well as give the guidelines of how we should chart our futures. If one would sit with the hunting legends they would understand the passion and drive of the new generations (not considering the generation of poachers who have sprung up and roam our islands like cockroaches – looting, raping, pillaging everything from iron to forests to human souls as they swarm).
The new generation of hunters have not appeared from nowhere – these are the seed of the past, eager to continue the traditions of their lineage. Of course, like Iwer should have listened to Shorty, new generation hunters aren’t infallible and would need guidance and rules and corrections from time to time, but nonetheless they are here awaiting their turn to eventually become the old story tellers in the hunting gayelle!
Sadly there is a new poacher in town – an odd fellow. His words meticulously devious and his deception and cunning rivalling the best predator. Yet all he sees in his scope is the hunter! Determined he is to remove us from the fabric of this society. No care or concern has he for the roads were have come from and the paths we wish to thread. All he does is plays on the emotions of ecological zealots pandering to their wish make us extinct! The Poachers of Men they are, the Bambi Brigades!

Like the old stick man, we have to battle, to save more than just a sport and lifestyle – to save a part of our culture and a Legacy that many who have their roots buried deep in this soil desperately wish to continue.
