Extractions: Privacy Statement Watergoing vessels have long been important to these islands. The original inhabitants - Ciboney, Arawak and Carib Indians - moved among the islands in their oceangoing craft. In 1493 the islands saw the arrival of several larger boats commanded by an explorer in the service of Spain: Christopher Columbus. Shortly thereafter, pirate ships became fond of the islands, drawn by the same secluded coves that today harbor pleasure craft. They continued to make use of them even after Dutch farmers settled on the islands in the mid 1600s. The British gained control in 1672. They built sugar, cotton and indigo plantations on several of the islands and imported slaves. After slavery was abolished in 1834, the plantation economy came to an end. Most of the landowners abandoned their holdings shortly thereafter, leaving the islands to the former slaves and their descendants.

With its series of small villages and close-knit communities, there is a home-like feel to The British Virgin Islands. The people here are one of The BVI's best kept secrets; they are a church-going, community-spirited group who believe in helping one another and welcoming visitors to their islands. They are proud and resourceful and have made the transition from a largely rural economy of farming and fishing just a few short decades ago to one of tourism and international finance easily. The people of The British Virgin Islands have their roots in Africa, but their culture is firmly Caribbean. The families of many BVIslanders have been here for generations. But The BVI has also been infused with people from many other islands and countries, and whose presence has turned the islands into a Caribbean and global melting pot. The British Virgin Islands culture is reflected in its many art forms including such indigenous music as fungi, a form of scratch band music. But music here also encompasses Caribbean imports such as steel band music whose melodic sounds

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/caribbean/british_virgin_islands/cultur

Extractions: British Virgin Islands No trace remains of the islands' original Indian population; today's inhabitants are mostly descended from slaves or slave owners. The hybrid Caribbean culture is evident in the food, in the music and in the handmade sloops that many locals use for fishing. Islanders reflect a mixture of British and West Indian influences when playing their dashing style of cricket and when they wash down a plate of conch fritters with a pint of ale. Virgin Islanders are suckers for a beat. Fungi bands play scratch instruments such as gourds and washboards and sing songs that often comment on local social and political issues. Calypso, known originally as kaiso, was brought here by African slaves and used as a form of communication and rebellion. It's still an integral part of the islands' Carnival, which began as a celebration of slave emancipation. A lot of islanders of African descent retain a strong belief in the spirit world: ghosts (jumbis) often get blamed for bad things and credited for good things on the islands. Jumbi stories were an important part of slave culture, used not only as spine-tingling entertainment on moonlit nights, but also as cautionary tales for children. The inspirational antics of Bru Nansi, a wily spidery man who prevailed in adverse circumstances, were an integral part of West African slave culture. Storytelling traditions persist today, though often in more structured settings such as community halls and festival gatherings.

In the 1960s, Laurence Rockefeller's elegant resort on Virgin Gorda, Little Dix Bay, kickstarted the travel industry. The Cary family started its charter yacht company, The Moorings, on Tortola a few years later. Now tourism is the mainstay of the country's economy, although there is a burgeoning banking industry as well.

Rugged mountain peaks characterize the entire southern coast while the northern coastline contains white sandy beaches. Banana trees, mangos and clusters of palm help adorn the scenery.
