The Black Caribs of Honduras

Produced by Doris Stone. Recorded by Peter Kite Smith, Willard Pictures.

"The Black Caribs are a hybrid people who emerged as an ethnic group in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century on St. Vincent, one of the Windward Islands. Their very name denotes, to a certain extent, the racial mixture, although one component of this group, the Arawak, are not suggested. Today, Black Carib settlements extend from the Black River in Honduras to Stann Creek in British Honduras including the north coast of Guatemala..."

"Los Caribeños Negros o Garífunas son una raza híbrida que surgió como grupo étnico a finales del siglo XVII y comienzos del siglo XVIII en St. Vincent, una de las Islas de Barlovento. El nombre mismo denota hasta cierto punto la mezcla racial, aunque uno de los componentes de este grupo, el arawak, no está sugerido. Hoy en día los asentamientos de Caribeños Negros se extienden desde el Río Negro en Honduras hasta Stann Creek en Belice, incluyendo la costa norte de Guatemala..."
