With the aim of promoting the history and rich cultural heritage of Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island, located on Nicaragua’s southern Caribbean coast, the event “Island Memories: Archaeology and Digital Dissemination of Corn Island’s Heritage” is being held today, providing a space dedicated to the exchange of ancestral knowledge and the strengthening of local identity.
During the event, specialists will present the most recent archaeological findings related to the Kukra indigenous people, whose remains confirm the millennia-old presence of the first inhabitants of this Nicaraguan Caribbean archipelago. The artifacts discovered in recent years offer a broader perspective on the practices and ways of life that shaped the islands’ history.
The gathering will take place this Friday afternoon, July 4, 2025, starting at 3:00 p.m., at the Community House of Little Corn Island.
The activity seeks to encourage intergenerational dialogue and to share knowledge that reinforces the sense of belonging among island communities.
This initiative is jointly promoted by the Corn Island House of Culture, the Corn Island Virtual Library, and the Archaeological Project of the Municipality of Corn Island (PAMCI).
