Belize Culture: Ethnic Groups Explained | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Lesson of the day.  Chaa Creek has put together a great explanation of the different cultural groups found around Belize.

 

"Belize is often called a 'melting pot' of cultures, but this may be a bit of a misnomer.  Belize culture is far better described as an elegant latticework of different peoples weaving around and between each other.  The term melting pot is inaccurate because Belizeans don’t meld into one homogenous people, but stand out proudly, displaying their ethnicity and sharing their culture.  Of course, not melting into one does not ensure segregation, the dynamic of Belize culture effortlessly reflects facets from each group’s influences and food."
