Karla Sacaza Your culture is beautiful, more black people should learn about the Garfuna because those groups of Africans didn't come as slaves which is a very important narrative for us to learn. And predates Christopher Columbus. This must make us rethink this watered down version of history that is thought in primary schools. One love sis.

You are a beautiful people, culture, and music. Being Hawaiian from Hawaii I can very much relate. After the US overthrow of our monarchy, it was against the law to even speak our language in public. So the language stopped with my grandmother after her father died. Our Polynesian ancestors such as Maori from New Zealand fight the sane fight as a people. To keep their culture alive. What we have done as Polynesians is open Charter Schools that teach the language, culture, music, customs, and dance. Trust me for generations people have worked against our efforts to do just that. All it takes is one school, build it and they will come. You have many people in existence. There are only about 8,000 pure hawaiians left. We lost many Hawaiians when the white man founded our islands. Disease wiped us nearly out. The white men raped our woman and the men fought against being taken as slaves. They would have rather died then be taken away from their homeland. This is the history they dont want to teach you in the US. Many of us are mixed but we fight to keep our culture alive. We have had to adapt to the new world as we know it. But our love, honor, and respect to our elders keeps us alive. Be blessed and stay grounded in who you are. Because no one can take that from you. Even if you dont speak your language. Listen to your music. That will speak to your soul. Aloha.

We are from st Vincent originally. That's a fact that wasn't mentioned in this documentary. We are a mix between African (some say Mali) and the native Caribbean people that lives in st Vincent. Some say the original Africans were from mansa Musa kingdom. This documentary doesn't mention nothing about st Vincent (where we originated from) so this doesn't tell the entire story

I was such about to mention that fact. I had second thoughts, and then I saw your comment. Thank you. The basic problem persists. A documentary like this is important but telling the entire story is also important because it is also mportant to make the connections to what would otherwise appear to be parallel. I would have liked to hear a connection to the Caribes of St. VIncent. There was a mention of the dispersion, but to where was left to the imagination--one would believe just North and Central America. Well how about all the places where the Garifunas have melted into the general West Indian community; for example Jamaica where a number of them were dropped off on the way to Roatan Island. Places like Dominica where they sought safety before they were rounded up. Thank you very much for your work.

As a matter of fact I didn't learn to speak English until my mom and dad sent me to school! They figured I'm in America surrounded by English so they didn't have to teach me that. But we only spoke Garifuna at home. I thank them everyday for that! Aba Isieni (One Love)

Today, i started looking at travel plans, what a surprise. those people move us out where ever. I rented a house from "Aunt" Serena Woods, people treated me as family everywhere. Half Moon was so different, and the Rum Lady, in th mangroves. Finding this video, and others like it, let me know that the love still lives.. Thank You Roatan, and the Garifuna people..

@mzj66 but you can still do it through Ancestry and other such test. I was brought to the US as a child. I have connected to relatives through social media. We now have a group. Dna tests show relatives, and I have re-connected to some. It was affirming to know that some "cousins" were blood related. I say that because in our culture, you do not have to be blood related to be aunty, sister, or cousin. People can choose to be so related, and godparenthood cements such relationships.

I now live in NY and can relate to how life is here too. I remember how I was reminded as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult and as a wife and as a mother that "I'm a Garifuna".

It's funny, while an interesting cross-section of people (Garifuna and Non-Garifuna) were interviewed for this short documentary, I am reminded that this just the tip of the iceberg. There truly is much, much more to explore. That feeling is evoked with every documentary that I see on the subject of the Garifuna ethnic group. The scope and breadth of the Garifuna experience is broad. It'll be interesting to see if future efforts are as wide-ranging as this. Teofilo Colon Jr. Being Garifuna

They didn't arrive by slave ship wreck, in Africa we know about our people who left the continent on boats long before civilization got to Europe. We were taught that some sailed the oceans and came back home and some did not. For this reason black indigenous people are found in Asia, the South Pacific and even in South America but just like the African proverb says: Until the lion becomes a historian, the hunter will keep on being portrayed as the hero... awesome job on the documentary :)

Rest In Peace to "Ñeco", who was murdered in Honduras last night / this morning when he was shot in the head. I do not have any other information on this matter at this time. Ñeco appears at the 5:14 mark of the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nonFY6NojMx7rqsm15s

+BeingGarifuna Wow. That makes me sad. Thanks for posting, Teofilo. Of all the interviews we did for this documentary, Ñeco's was the most impactful to me personally as a filmmaker. He was full of life, passion and youth. RIP. 'Til we meet again...

Aye, Ben Petersen Ñeco's murder is a sad thing to hear about. I heard about it and was able to confirm it via posts (Status Updates, photos, videos, etc) by family / friends / colleagues of Ñeco via Facebook over the last couple of hours. Perhaps word will leak out about what took place with Ñeco and why.

kissy Hernandez Seremein luagu abürüdatibu ("Thanks for writing" in the Garifuna Language) +kissy Hernandez . Aye, I'm sure a lot of Garifuna youths can relate to Drip Ñeco's story. I didn't know him and didn't have the pleasure of meeting him. I also hadn't heard of the details you include regarding the person who shot Drip Ñeco. Was the shooter caught, Kissy Hernandez?

Sorry to read that the shooter hasn't been caught as of yet, kissy Hernandez . Seremein for sharing your perspective on Drip Ñeco / Drip Ñeko. It helps to hear from those who knew him as each story / posting / comment helps get people to understand who he was as a young Garifuna man. As I wrote on the Being Garifuna Facebook page, I didn't know Drip Ñeco / Drip Ñeko or ever get the chance to meet him but I wish his life wasn't cut short.

Ben , Seremein - Thank you for telling our Garifuna story .. Well said !! I love it ... I would like to know how & when this will be available on dvd ? I also wanted to mention if Dane Paulo listened or watched your film she would have heard your reference to St. Vincent and the Grenadines towards the beginning of the film after the reference of Africa...

Bless you Mr. Peterson, this was amazing video. i am left without words. The Garifuna people face the oppression from these horrible money hungery politician, govt, and drug cartel that associate with one another, and should be a shamed of themselves for taking what doesnt belong to them. These ciminal acts dont suprise me. Lifting the Garifuna people in prayer.

I love what the lady said about respecting and learning about your culture & heritage, whatever it may be! I agree 100%. Just learning about our beautiful differences is too much for some small minded people, however, and it sometimes balloons into nationalism (oppression) or hate (stupidity). Those of us operating at a higher frequency spiritually, know that we are all a unique and different creation by God. These Garifuna are beautiful in their own unique way!

I feel that sometimes white people don't really realize that just how when they're white they have diversity... British, German, Irish, etc. The Asian and Black cultures are the same and the Indians as well.

The thing is that their culture is a big part of Honduran Music. It's called Punta and most of it is sang in their language! I'm Honduran and I appreciate all of the diversity they add to Honduras
