Culture of the Falkland Islands information

The culture of the Falkland Islands is essentially analogous to that of British culture.[1] The Falkland Islands have a large non-native born population, mainly white and from England (and to a much lesser extent, other parts of the British Isles), but also from Saint Helena.[2]

The native born population is mainly of English descent, with other strains such as Gibraltarian.
