Natalia John

Natalia John is a Barbudan speaker in Sand heists and property rights in the Caribbean (Summer School). She says she supports more development on Barbuda, but wants Barbudans to keep meaningful control over which projects are approved.

Her role is important because it prevents the episode’s property-rights dispute from collapsing into development versus no development. The actual conflict is closer to Property Rights And Community Obligations: who gets approval authority, who captures island value, and whether Communal Land Tenure can coexist with investment.
