| Garifunas Celebrate with Joy Their Arrival in Honduras Apr 17, 2005 On April 12, 1797 five British ships brought approximately 2,500 Garifunas from the Island of Saint Vincent, north of Venezuela, to the Island of Roatan in Honduras. After several wars with the Garifunas, the British were in the end victorious and evacuated from St. Vincent all the Blacks who had intermarried with the Carib and Arawak Indians there, so the British could plant sugar on St. Vincent. |

Santa Rosa de Aguan, Honduras, the before and after hurricane Mitch Apr 06, 2005 For most people from Honduras, October & November of 1998, remains a period of time in history that is very vivid in the minds of this community, much like September 11, 2001, for the American people and the rest of the world. During this time period the devastating hurricane Mitch swept away many lives and crippled many houses, bridges and roads. |

Lidani Garifuna Times interviews Dr. Joseph Palacio Mar 22, 2005 For those of you who don’t know, Dr. Joseph Palacio is a hustler, just like the artist Cassidy says on his new single featuring Jay-Z.
But there’s something special about this “hustla�. He is smart, and humble. His responses to the questions we asked were firm and direct.
And if you ask about his resume, his ambition and his plans, please, look no further.

The Beginning of Punta Rock Mar 22, 2005 In celebration of the 208th Anniversary of Garifuna Heritage, there’s no way we can ignore the epicenter of what has maintained Garifuna culture for the past 27 years. And yes, we must put on the record that it was not Banda Blanca who created this juggernaut. It was a group young Garifuna men in the Garifuna City of Dangriga in Belize. |
In Celebration of Garifuna Heritage Month Mar 14, 2005 In 2005, you may consider that the availability of Garifuna News and information is beginning to reach its peak, thanks to the works of websites and message boards. |
WGO 2005 Assembly Mar 04, 2005 Over some years now, the World Garifuna Organization (WGO)
has been very intensely concerned about the quality of the interactions

administration and ultimately how they, each in its own fashion, benefit
from and contribute to its own individual progress and development as
well as to that of the Nation at large. |
