The Raizal are the indigenous inhabitants of the Archipelago of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, or The Raizal Islands; located approximately 292 miles south-west of Jamaica. They are not defined by race but are labeled by the Colombian authorities as one of the Afro-Colombian ethnic groups under the multicultural policy pursued since 1991. They are speakers of the San Andrés-Providencia Creole, a dialect of Jamaican Patois.
