  • Rum Cay Social Club, and I Have Chosen As My Subject One Dear to My Heart, Our H'earts
    I. ------",--' Rum Club Social Club 13th Anniversary Banquet Pil ot House Hotel, Nassau, N.P. Friday 11th November, 1988 : RUilfCay Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow ' Madam President, Honoured Patrons, Distinguished Guest~ --- I am delighted at having been invited to briefly address you this evening on the 13th Anniversary of the Rum Cay Social Club, and I have chosen as my subject one dear to my heart, our h'earts. the enchanting island of Rum Cay. R.um Cay's history, as we know it, began in 1492, when Christopher Columbus, searching for a western route to Asi'a, made a landfall on 12th October at the Lucayan/Arawak inhabited island of Guanahani, which he renamed San Salvador. Two days later, on 14th October, he discovered another island 12 miles long and 5 miles wide at its furthest points, giving an area of about 30 square miles, which the Lucayans/Arawaks called Millnana, or Manigua, and ;Ie renamed it Santa Maria de la Concepcion (Blessed Virgin Mary), and which in later,times was renamed Rum Cay. Information on RUlli Cay's early history is scant, since most books deal with the Bahamas as a whole and~ot with the separate islands, especially one as small as Rum Cay. There are some bits of information in different books though, which give clues to its past history. ~ Cay was inhabited at the time of Columbus' arrival by the amiable Lucayan/ Arawak Indians. Evidence of their existence on the island can be found in the Hartford Cave on the northern coast of Rum Cay. In coral walls.

  • The Birds of Long Island, Bahamas
    Wilson Bull., 104(2), 1992, pp. 220-243 THE BIRDS OF LONG ISLAND, BAHAMAS DONALD W. BUDEN ’ ABSTRACT.-ChIe hundred and ten species of birds are recorded from Long Island and adjacent cays, 54 for the first time. No species or subspecies is endemic. Of the 48 probable breeding indigenous species, 23 are land birds, most of which are widely distributed in all terrestrial habitats. The Yellow Warbler (Dendroicapetechia) shows the strongest habitat preference, being nearly confined to mangroves. Nests, eggs, and young are reported for 3 1 species, 19 of them for the first time on Long Island. The White-winged Dove (Zenaidu asiatica) and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) are new additions to the list of breeding land birds. The Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundluchii)was the most frequently encountered bird during summer 1990, followed closely by the Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris).Received I6 May 1991, accepted5 Nov. 1991. The avifauna of Long Island has never been reviewed systematically, the literature consisting mainly of brief and sparsely annotated noncu- mulative lists of species. In nearly all cases, these earlier reports have been based on visits of only one to several days duration covering a very limited area, mainly Clarence Town and vicinity. The present report brings together all available information on the distribution of the birds of Long Island and is based in large measure on my observations through- out the island during 28 April-l 3 May and 6 July-l 2 August 1990 together with unpublished records contributed by other observers. STUDY AREA Long Island is located in the central part of the Bahama archipelago and is the south- easternmost island of any appreciable size on the Great Bahama Bank (Figs.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 417 004 PS 026 302 AUTHOR Hahnlen, Nicole C.; Rosado, Mashawn S.; Capozzi, Kristin A.; Hamon, Raeann R. TITLE Mothering in the Bahamas: A Student Ethnography. PUB DATE 1997-11-00 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the NCFR Fatherhood and Motherhood in a Diverse and Changing World (59th, Arlington, VA, November 7-10, 1997).

DESCRIPTORS *Child Rearing; Community Involvement; Cultural Influences; Ethnography; Extended Family; Foreign Countries; *Mother Attitudes; *Mothers; Parent Child Relationship; *Parent Role; Pregnancy IDENTIFIERS *Bahamas ABSTRACT Bahamian women often carry the bulk of responsibility for family well-being, particularly in the domain of parenting. This ethnographic study investigated the role of Bahamian mothers and their perceptions of parenting. Face-to-face qualitative interviews, comprised of a series of open-ended questions, were conducted with 18 mothers on the islands of Eleuthera, Harbour Island, and Spanish Wells, Bahamas. All interviews were audio taped and transcribed. Several issues emerged from the data regarding motherhood: the multiple role expectations placed on women, the involvement of the extended family and community in child rearing, and the pregnancy and birthing experience. Most mothers carried the bulk, if not all, of the responsibility for the well-being of their children, with familial obligations taking significant personal tolls; however, the community, often in the form of extended family, provided informal assistance. The small and relatively safe communities provided a reassuring context in which to raise children, and birthing experiences were also more of a family or community affair.
