When Columbus came in 1492 the region was already set, as time progressed more groups of people settled here. With the East Indians being one, they brought with them their culture and traditions. At the time, the Government was under Lord Harris ( 1849- 54) where he realized that in terms of food , the newly indentured labourers needed food that they were accustomed to. Food such as split peas,(dhal) and even curry spices came directly from India for the immigrants. Through 1845 to 1917 the Indians came and introduced many different foods as well as festivals and clothing. Festivals celebrated within the East Indian Community is Holi or Phagwa and Divali. For women, they tend to wear clothing called a ‘Salwar’ and a ‘Sari’ while men would wear a ‘Dhoti.’ Some East Indian delicacies are Phlourie, Saheena, Doubles and Aloo Pies.

Tracing back to slavery days where men were expected to carry out tougher jobs than that of women. Women were given more domesticated jobs as that of to work in the main house for example. In today’s society it is still exercised that men and women are made to do particular tasks and practices where for example, within the Caribbean it is noticed that there has been a vast difference in the levels at which both male and female perform in sciences. The information goes along the lines of males performing better at ‘hard’ sciences such as engineering and Physics while females lean towards sciences that are lenient such as medical sciences and Biology. However, females do have the potential to break this ‘rule’ where for example, Miss Camille Wardrop Alleyne of Trinidad and Tobago who is an aerospace engineer doing  very well in NASA in the United States of America. She stands as a female representative who has indeed broken down the barriers of gender blindness and shows the potential of women in the Caribbean.

Through an education, it not only helps the economy but also helps preserve the human development and productivity within the nations. A person who has impacted the education system very well in the Trinidad and Tobago is Sir George Francis Robert Harris who was the governor from 1846 to 1854. He started off with free primary school education in 1851 in ward schools where he divided the country into parts. He impacted greatly upon the country where he brought about education for children to be free and being able to acquire the education that they deserved. Later on the introduction of Caribbean Examination Council began where examinations where to be done at the form five level in secondary school and then later on the GATE program was introduced for free education. Education was also shown through the means of books where there was the introduction of the West Indian Reader books presented in primary schools as well as the Anancy stories coming from Jamaica. This shows the level at which education has taken us to becoming more independent in our identity and culture.

Different religions came along through the different groups of people that came to the Caribbean with what their home cultures had to offer. Some prominent religions in the Caribbean are Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. Linking religion with education, with Sir Harris, there were many catholic and Presbyterian board schools within the Caribbean. Also, the introduction of Sunday School for children at the Christian education levels. Many churches, mosques and temples are found throughout the Caribbean as religious institutions for persons. There are also many artifacts within the Caribbean that have religious significance, for example, there is Mount Saint Benedict in North Trinidad. There is the 85ft statue of Lord Hanuman belonging to the Hindu religion which stands in Carapichaima Trinidad and well as the Temple by the Sea which is a Hindu Pilgrimage site also located in Carapichaima. Each artifact holds great significance for their religion and holds that sacredness towards their religions.
