A name to begin with
This is a name-only directory outline. Detailed history, reading sources and community-specific imagery are queued. An identification check makes this name findable; it does not count as substantive research, an adequacy assessment or community endorsement.
Names & relationships
The Foundation explicitly names Sandy Bay among its Vincentian heritage programme communities. This is a local reading route, not a separate people/government or a claim that every resident identifies as Garifuna or Kalinago. The named local heritage organization is related context, not an automatic alias of all residents.
Identification references
These references support the name and the limited relationships or locations described above. They do not count as substantive history reviews. Detailed reading sources remain queued.

Modern regional labels are navigation aids, not homeland or jurisdictional boundaries. A missing history or image is a research gap in this Atlas.
