St. David's Islanders& Native CommunityBermuda
"To preserve, illustrate, exhibit and promote the unique heritage of St. David's Island, as well as the history of other native cultures in Bermuda."
We also work toward a lasting goal — a permanent museum space to house the historic items and stories that belong to our organization and to Bermuda.
A charity rooted in a unique heritage.
The St. David's Islanders & Native Community is a Bermuda-registered charity. For more than two decades, we've worked to reconnect families with their Indigenous ancestry and to share that heritage with the wider community.
St. David's Islanders trace their story to Native peoples brought to Bermuda centuries ago — a history reflected in our people, our language, and our island's traditions of ship-making, farming and piloting.
