The Institute for Social & Cultural Research has published an informational article entitled 'Who are the Garifuna People of Belize?'  It talks about the history and culture of the Garinagu people. Worth a read.

 

"In dories and boats, the Garinagu bring coconut, plantain, cassava, and the drums of their ancestors to Dangriga’s shores, as the crowds—Belizeans and visitors alike—cheer and celebrate in the streets. This is Yurumein: the reenactment of the Garifuna journey to Belize. It is Garifuna Settlement Day, a public and bank holiday in Belize since 1943. It’s a celebration of culture, resilience, and vision."
