What “Sleep Soft, Nature Child” Means
Dominica is nicknamed the 'Nature Isle' for its unspoiled rainforests and the world's second-largest boiling lake, and it is home to the Kalinago Territory, the only remaining community of indigenous Kalinago (Carib) people in the Caribbean. This original lullaby borrows that same untouched, misty island calm.
