Indo-Caribbean Cultural Council (ICC) is pleased to announce the
publication and sale of its latest magazine commemorating Indian Heritage
Month (May 2002). The theme of the magazine marking the arrival of Indians
from India to Trinidad during Indentureship (1845-1917) is Protection of
Traditional Knowledge. Descendants of these immigrants now comprise about
half the population of multi-ethnic Trinidad and Tobago (1.3 million).
