March 2000, Valentina Medina, of Mausica Lands, Arima, Trinidad aka Iere was named Carib Queen for life, at an election held on Sunday at the Santa Rosa Carib Community Centre in Arima. Medina, 66, the fifth Queen was named as the successor after Justa Werges, queen for the past 11 years, passed away in January.

Though she embraced the Carib way of life since childhood, after her marriage at 18 in 1952 to John Medina, she was called on by then Queen (Edith Martinez) to be more active in traditional Carib life. She was named queen for a day three different times and her husband was named king for the day as well.
