Honduras: Living between land and sea | SLICE

"The sea created us" say the Garifuna. These descendants of slaves live today in tightly bound communities away from the noise of the world, along the coast of Honduras. One foot in the sea, the other in the ground, united, the Garifuna have never forgotten their African roots and perpetuate their traditions against all odds.

They are mixed with a free native roots ,it's mainly African so this is invalid.

[@krisd.7845]

Also, we are not descendants of slaves

[@RajA-0202]

Life is amazing when it's kept simple as they do.

[@atticuskilby515]

We can learn much from the community structure that is practiced here.

[@copperamerindian050]

The Garifuna hasn’t forgotten their indigenous roots .. Orinoco is the origins and Orinoco ain’t in Africa ..

[@williammoreno3304]

There not indigenous to the americas even there own people know this, and many still remembers there African roots so stop the cap.

[@hectorordonez446]

Lol our language is an Arawak language we are descendants of Africans who intermingled with the natives on Saint Vincent who were then exiled to the Caribbean coast be fucking for real 😂

[@stevensonbowen3725]

They didn't escape from any Ship the French was the first to meet the Garifuna there in st Vincent

[@kathytakesflight5152]

Garifuna people were NEVER enslaved. You are sharing wrong information. Please edit this.

[@williammoreno3304]

They came in ships so they were technically.

[@victorbatiz6200]

As a people, the Garifuna (Garinagu) were never enslaved. The British signed a Treaty with them in 1773 after the First Carib War. The names of their chiefs were included in the treaty. And after losing the Second Carib War, they were deported en masse from their homeland in St. Vincent. The British called them Black Caribs to distinguish them from their Yellow (Red) Carib cousins. Of course, it was the British that questioned the fact that they were indigenous due to their skin color. But no Carib lighter or darker questioned who they were. Caribs with African ancestry.

[@loyalwholesale4792]

We have garifuna here in 🇧🇿 Belize and we are not part of Guatemala nederogou

[@iengbor_Ride4tales]

The history have brought them closer to nature. Though they live away from the cities but that is the life we should crave for in today's world. We should learn from them. Move on, Live on closer to mother earth and the sea and be happy. God bless them.. Thankyou Slice for the Full video.. 🙏👍

Stop disconnecting us from our native Arawak and caribe heritage lol it’s like everything that they said about our culture just went over to head 😅

[@twinflowerfioretta]

Thank you *SLICE* very interesting story, i think this people have a very strong comunity and work together as a big family. we always think high class level living is the most perfect way to enjoy Life, but no, it isnt !! there is happyness and simplicity, what makes Life as an adventure and we are borne to take challanges as an opportunity to strenghten us - but sadly money and luxury rule the world!😝

10:30 he favors the actor Wes Studi from Last of the Mohicans. Him, the woman with glasses and the grandmother all have strong indigenous looks. Reminds me of many of my Garifuna family.

[@kocholawis1851]

not descendents of Slaves, Garifunas where from a shipwreck rescued by the Arawak indigenous tribe before the sell and the plantations, and adopted into their culture, so they dont lived the slavery as other african american peoples

[@johanaelizabeththomas514]

Thank you for featuring my Garifuna culture. I am Garifuna, and I know everything this video shows and says is legit. ;-)

[@user-kc7nn9pi3b]

My mom is from comayagua but I would love to live this experience first hand! So much of Honduras culture comes from the rich garífunas ❤ Hudut and tapous….hope I got that correctly Sending much love ❤️

Garífuna never slave , we still speaking our language and culture. The people who was slave , they spoke the language of the slavers

[@martinkugbei9485]

thanks for sharing this is amazing reminds me of my village in Africa

[@Empty7775]

What language are they speaking? I’m guessing its a language found on the African continent but I don’t know what language it is.

[@ocj305]

They are speaking garifuna...it's mostly arawak Carib French English spanish mix together...colonization sucks

[@Empty7775]

@@ocj305 thanks

[@madewithrealdiamonds]

it's a creole language like @ocj305 stated, but it's far more Arawak than any other language. it's closest to other surviving Arawak languages, and was mainttained quite well throughout the centuries. The Garifuna are actually mixed of free African and Island Caribs. The language that they speak is a passdown of the prior native ppl of St. Vincent. The names of the ppl and languages changed due to deportations, massacres, and relocations. In the case of the Garifuna, they fled the Eastern Caribbean to central America (Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras). You'll find a few African terms, as in the rest of the Caribbean, but not nearly as much as other Island creoles.

The racist houndoran government won't even claim these people or help them at all. They did not even bother teaching them spanish or trying to assimilate them

[@emanuela7319]

They speak garifuna, Spanish and English depending on what part of the country you live. Honduras is melting pot of multiple ethnic groups. I'm half garifuna and Lenca and speak 4 languages.

[@seanogallchoir3237]

They are free, that is all they need.

[@togbeosagyefo8705]

They don’t need to assimilate with wicked people

[@florencioxatruch8022]

You are totally wrong. 100 % of Garífunas speak Spanish, Garífuna and some of them even English. They are free and are part of the Honduran culture as a whole. Honduras is a multicultural, multilingual country and every ethnic group play a role in the culture of the country.

When he said the land of no one ,I died of brain cells, these lands were of thousands of my people, then the white men brought the Africans here and started there own villages.

[@afrikaantears.2878]

Garifuna people are originally came from eastern Nigeria called Cross River State (Calabar). The Men have their own Language while the Women also have theirs. They still exist in Cross River State- Calabar of Nigeria till today. So these people originally came from Nigeria although they might have split all over the world, they escaped from a shipwreck during slavery and mixed up with people that have been living there in the Caribbean before they came. Do your research you will find the Garifuna people in the Eastern part of Nigeria in Cross River State Calabar.
