In the rural village of Toco, Trinidad, a towering mango tree connects the community to its roots. Mungarah, an indentured laborer from Bihar, India, planted the tree from a single seed he carried across the seas. Over time, it became a gathering place where villagers shared stories, laughter, and traditions, symbolizing unity, resilience, and cultural blending.

Under its branches, Auntie Eulie, the village storyteller, captivates listeners with tales of Caribbean adventures. Through her stories of Jamaican reggae, Grenadian festivals, Bahamian sea turtles, and Barbadian cuisine, she celebrates the shared spirit of the islands while preserving the village's heritage.

Auntie Eulie reminds her audience that "the tree, "is more than its roots-it carries our history and future." With every story, she keeps the spirit of Toco and the Caribbean alive, ensuring the mango tree remains a timeless symbol of connection and community.
