PM Manning was invited to address a major gathering, of the "North
American Assembly of Indian Nations", on his Government's plans for the
Carib community in Arima as part of World Aboriginal Initiatives Month. He
spoke for two hours on his future plans for increasing every
Carib-Trinidadian's present standard of living, make-work programs for the community, soup kitchens featuring traditional cassava dishes, and so on, should he one day become the first elected President of T&T . Although the
PM was vague on the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic
about his future ideas for helping his "indigenous sisters and brothers".
At the conclusion of his speech the Tribes presented PM Manning with a
plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - 'Walking Eagle'. The proud
Prime Minister then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter later inquired of the group of Chiefs as to how they came
to select the new name given to the Prime Minister. They explained that
'Walking Eagle'
is a name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly...
