Our mission is to shed light on the Indian indenture system in the Caribbean, honouring the experiences and resilience of our Indian ancestors.

We welcome you to join us on a personal journey rooted in uncovering the forgotten archives of this period. In the process, we will be rewriting the archaic colonial narratives that have traditionally accompanied the historical artefacts of this time, from the critical perspective of Indian indenture descendants.

In addition we will be highlighting the descendants of Indenture Labourers and Girmityas through storytelling and interviews discussing Indo-Caribbean and South Asian culture and identity.

Kala Pani Archives aims to build a community where we can learn not only about our history but about each other. This will be a place of togetherness, growth and healing, honouring our ancestors and keeping the history of indenture alive in the process.
