  • The story behind this video starts on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent. In 1635, two slave ships wrecked there and the African slaves escaped to freedom. They mixed in with the native Caribs, giving birth to a new Afro-Caribbean culture - the Garifuna (Gareefoonah). In the centuries since, the Garifuna migrated and founded villages along the Caribbean coast of Central America. Lonny Shavelson reports from Guatemala.

    I think it is good if you do not write that the Garifuna "migrated" which is actually a lie, they were robbed from their country, killed and sent away by the British.
    Yes the culture is beautiful, but we need the whole history to understand it.
    Thank you very much

      I am a mestizo Guatemalan (Maya/Spanish) but my DNA test said I also have Cameoon/Congo, Portuguese and British which totally surprised me. I think the Garifunas are mainly western African with some Carib/Arawak from Sint vincent. The boats that brought them from Africa were PORTUGUESE sailors but the slave trade authority in the lesser Antilles (Saint Vincent etc) were BRITISH. I bet many Fuatemalans with Garifuna full, partial or even trace ancestry like myself have also those Cameroon, Portuguese, British traces. Thanks for your startling insight, I am going to research, there aren't many people tested in that region that I know but you definitely made an interesting point.

    The Garifunas from Central American should visit the ancestral nation of the Garifuna people, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
    They will get a chance to visit the island of Balliceuax in the Grenadines where over 4000 "BLACK CARIBS" were rounded up by the British after they were defeated in the second so-called CARIB WARS.

    There is much more to the history. The slave wrecked outside St. Vincent. Later the British Invadors killed the Vincentians because they did not want to grow free crops for the Europeans, finally the British killed Chatoyer and Kidnapped 5000 Garifunas (Vincentians) and left them on a small island outside St. Vincent. There half of the original Vincentian population died and the other half was shipped off to Honduras.

    Moreover, the Garifunas from Central America will get a chance to visit "CARIB COUNTRY" on the Windward side of the Island where most of the Caribs live and also they will get the opportunity to visit the town of Biabou (this is the town where the "BLACK" CARIBS" who were not sent into exile were placed on a RESERVATION after they lost the second Carib War) and the other villages where the descendants of the "BLACK CARIBS" still lives on the Leeward side of the island.

    This took place after Paramount CHIEF of the "BLACK CARIBS," Chatoyer, was killed in St. Vincent aka Hairouna aka Yurumein.
    Over 2000 of the "BLACK CARIBS" died after suffering from starvation and diseases. Those who were alive were then sent into exile on Roatan Island off Honduras.
