ONLY A TWO-HOUR PLANE RIDE FROM the United States, Belize lies directly south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and borders the Caribbean Sea. Fly into Belize City and you're off on a wonderful adventure. One of the best shows in Belize happens every day of the year, and it's free. At dawn or dusk take a stroll by the famous Swing Bridge on Haulover Creek. There young men from the city gather to manually turn the bridge sideways to allow vessels to pass to or from the Caribbean Sea. Built in Liverpool, England, and installed in 1928, it may be the last manually operated bridge in service anywhere. Natural and unspoiled, Belize is a haven for some of the world's most exotic and endangered species. It has become a recognized leader in preservation and conservation. Nature reserves abound, and a fascinating population of birds, beasts, and marine life reside here.

104. The Garifuna / Black Caribs A brief history of the Garifuna people of southern belize and eastern Guatemala. http://www.mayaparadise.com/garifune.htm

Home Messages Search Site Map ... Info THE GARIFUNA The history of the Garifuna (or Garifune) begins before the year 1635 on the island of St. Vincent in the eastern Caribbean. St. Vincent was inhabited by a tribe of Indians who called themselves Arawaks. The Kalipuna tribe from mainland South America invaded St. Vincent and conquered the Arawaks. The Arawak men were all killed and the Kalipuna warriors took the Arawak women as wives. The inhabitants of the island were then the union of these two tribes. The word "Garifuna", which means "cassava eating people", is probably descended from "Kalipuna". The Spanish called these people "Caribes" (Caribs) which means cannibals and that is the word from which "Caribbean" is descended. In the year 1635 two Spanish ships carrying Nigerian slaves shipwrecked on the island of St. Vincent. At first, the Spanish, Nigerians and Kalipuna fought one another but eventually learned to get along and intermarried, thus creating the Black Caribs. At that time, St. Vincent was a British colony and the Caribs tried to establish independent control of the island. The French supported the Caribs and there were many battles between the Caribs and the British. The greatest battle took place in 1795 and both sides suffered great losses. In 1796 the Caribs and the French surrendered to the British.
