Caribbean heritage
West Indies roots
Caribbean heritage refers to the cultural traditions, ancestry, and identity rooted in the Caribbean region—its islands and coastal territories.
The phrase appears in contexts celebrating or acknowledging this background: Caribbean Heritage Month, She's proud of her Caribbean heritage.
It encompasses the region's diverse blend of Indigenous, African, European, and Asian influences in food, music, language, and customs.
