Shall I Be A Garifuna Today or Shall I Not? Oct 31, 2004 There is an inaccuracy in the population count of the Garifuna in our communities. We are underestimated and undercounted in the villages, towns, and the different countries that we live in. In Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, St. Vincent and in the United States, we are counted as only a small minority usually as 10% or less in each of these countries. |

The Garifuna Mis-education of the Web Oct 28, 2004 As I search the different websites for information on
the Garifuna people, I have found a number of
misleading articles. It is a misconception that they
claim that the country of Belize is the mecca of the
Garifuna culture. However, Honduras, the nation with
the largest population of Garinagu in the world, is
the center of Garifuna culture. |
