Garifuna Society Rolls( MAN & WOMEN)

Garifuna men have always been known for their maritime skills since they were mainly away

hunting and fishing from various islands throughout the Caribbean and Central America (Global

Neighbors: Garifuna History, 1). It is not hard to understand then why the Garifuna are both a

“matrilocal”. This means that the women are at the center of the household and descendants

trace their bloodline through their mother’s family.

Part 4)

The Garifuna subculture play a important role in the Honduras culture. It is the Garifunas

that provide most of the turist attraction, for all of their different rituals and traditions. Also they

form part of the most part of the Honduran fish farms. Providing more than80% of the fish in the

country and being responsible of exporting 45% .In the other hand Garifuna culture affects

negatively also the Honduras culture.This is because the Garifuna beliefs are focused on death ,

something we Honduran don’t see with the right eyes. They celebrate and party every time some

one dies “ hoping that they are in a better place” meaning our teenagers could get this costume like

a excuse to kill someone or maybe be affected with the same costume. We cant judge Garifuna

Culture for what they are, it was them who actually build up this country when they were brought

like slaves by the S panish regiment. But we can say that we couldn’t think of a Honduran Society

with out of the Garifuna Subculture. Garifunas make this country a lot better, mostly in sports. As

we know African decendant people are a little better in sports than all actual latin people , because

of their height, weight and physics.Also Garifuna people support greatly on “maquilas” and other

many industries that require hardwork.
