Our 2001 Belizean Adventure Our top 5 experiences while in Belize by: Leigh Ann, Dan, Jen The three of us catchin' some rays after an amazing day of snorkeling In random order..... 1. Xunantunich (Mayan ruins) This was our first experience on the mainland of Belize. It was appropriate to start with the history of the country so we made our way to the ruins. Once there, we made the treacherous hike up the 130 foot main temple. The view on top of the temple was breathtaking. A large part of the Belize/Guatemala border was visible from the top of the ruins. On the way down, Leigh Ann stopped to take this postcard like picture. It is evident from this picture that acid rain and other environmental factors have taken its toll on the ruins. When we finished our tour, we posed for a group photo under the sign. 2. Jaguar Paw (cave tubing experience) Many people have been tubing before, but how many of you have gone through a cave and jungle? For those of you who haven't, the experience was awesome. First we hiked about a mile through the rain forest where we saw a tarantula in the wild. Then we made it to the mouth of the cave where we stopped to pose for a picture. We gracefully got onto our tubes and held our breaths as we entered the darkness. The only light that could be seen was the shimmering light coming from our head gear. All was well until Leigh Ann and Jen got stuck on an island of rock. But surprisingly, everyone survived.

Download our FREE Screen Saver Click Here A MULTI-ETHNIC, MULTILINGUAL SOCIETY Belize is a country of various culture, language and ethnic groups. Approximately 200,000 people in Belize consist of Creole, Garifuna, Mestizo, Spanish, Maya, English, Mennonite, Lebanese, Chinese, and Eastern Indian. Due to racial harmony and religious tolerance, all of these different elements have mixed and blended successfully, and Belize has gained a widespread reputation for its friendly peoples. One of the most prominent ethnic group is the Creoles, which formed 30% of the population in 1991. Creoles are descendants of the intermingling of the early British settlers with African slaves from Jamaica. More than 40% of the population are Mestizos. They are descendants of mixed blood Mexicans and Yucatec Mayans who fled from Yucatan in the mid 1800's. Another 6.6% of Belize's population are the Garifuna, but has decreased since 1980. The Garifuna have their own language and culture. The Yucatec, Mopan and Kekchi are three Amerindians groups which also make up Belize's population. The Chinese, with a population of 6,000 has made distinct communities, as well as the East Indians and the Mennonites. English remains the most common language spoken as well as Creole, but Spanish is becoming more widely spoken. The Garifuna , Mayans and Mennonites speak their own language.

Belize is not a typical Caribbean country nor is it a typical Central American country. It is a flat low-lying land in a part of the world characterized by mountainous/volcanic terrain. It is a country of contrasts where its Mestizos have taken over the African marimba and its Creoles consider maize (in tamales and panades) a staple of their diet. Are all Belizeans Black as their Central American neighbors expect? Or are they all Hispanic as their Caribbean counterparts suspect? Who are Belizeans and where did they come from?

27. Garifuna November 1997 the Black Carib culture known, as the Garifuna were reminded of their ancestors resilient struggle to overcome the brutal racism put forth by the European settlers in the New World. Americas Africanisms in the Garifuna culture of belize. UMI. Dissertation Services (151152). http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/afburns/afrotrop/Garifuna.htm

Another influence that the Garifuna had in their defining lines of their culture was the obvious influence of the French during the beginning stages of colonial development in the New World. It was during this time that French missionaries were exploring the region of the Caribbean and teaching the Island Caribs many words of their native tongue, including the use of French numbers and counting systems. Certain expressions were than fused with the Arawak language that the Island Caribs were speaking. This created the Garifuna language that can still be heard counting in French today (Global Neighbors: Garifuna history, 1). All of these things combined have provided a brief understanding of who the Garifuna are, and where they come from. Furthermore, it has become apparent through reference points to other cultures and more in-depth studies of the Garifuna that their roots were cultivated in many places around the globe. For example, the traditions of their music dance, religious rites, and rituals are all very much seeded in their link to their African ancestry. While the Garinagu forms of subsistence, on the other hand, are more associated with their Island Carib ancestors. Even the European settlers of the New World had a very profound effect on the development of the Garifuna culture. The same culture that is characterized by the blending of distant pieces of worldly influences, driven by the human intuition to survive, and fueled by the desire for freedom.

Belize - Culture Overview The small population of Belize is culturally diverse. This multiplicity of ethnicities, languages, religions, modes of dress, cuisines, styles of music, and folklore reflects the cultural mix. There are many ethnically distinct communities, but people of different groups also mix in many social contexts: at work, in schools, and in the political parties that are not ethnically based. Though prejudices exist, there is no history of interethnic violence in Belize. The social class of the people—whether they are poor or middle class—affects whether they will have such amenities as a car or television and influences as well whether their children will complete secondary school. Belizeans who have television watch mostly foreign programs, such as Mexican soap operas and North American sports; and the music they listen to largely reflects the traditions of their ethnic group, though recorded music from the Caribbean and United States is widely enjoyed by young people. One hybrid musical form, “punta rock,” seems to blend Caribbean soca, calypso, and reggae styles with merengue, salsa, and hip-hop. Also popular are the traditional sounds of brukdown—the tapping of assorted bottles, tables, cans, or other objects—an energetic percussion that originated in the logging camps. Some Belizeans are cosmopolitan and communicate by fax and e-mail, but for the average citizen, who is served by poor roads and social services, the nation still feels like a rural frontier.

Food also reflects ethnicity and international influences, but corn tortillas and rice and beans are widespread staples. Other assorted fare may include Jamaican stews and jerks, Mexican-style chilies, or English roasts. One of the special “national dishes” is the tailless gibnut (Agouti paca; a relative of the guinea pig), called the “Royal Rat” on many Belizean restaurant menus because the British press had objected to its being served to Elizabeth II in 1985. Locally produced rum, beer, and chicha (a fermented corn drink) are common, as are soft drinks.

REPORT #217 April 2000 CHANGING CULTURE OF THE TRADITIONAL MAYA VILLAGES Produced by the Belize Development Trust IN RESPONSE TO THE CHANGING CULTURE OF THE TRADITIONAL MAYA VILLAGES OF THE TOLEDO HILLS AND THE PROBLEM OF MAYAN TEENAGE GIRLS GETTING A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AND MIGRATING TO THE LARGEST TOWN IN THE COUNTRY, THE OLD PORT OF BELIZE CITY, LOOKING FOR JOBS I think your question is one of home and village environment. My daughters more or less, do the same sort of thing today. Trying to dream up something to feed the tourist industry. Or something, or somebody. You have to sell a service. And provide it. There is always a demand for something, you just have to find it. There are no jobs, so what are you going to do? You have to create work. That is the true nature of Belize. I guess in the Toledo Hills there is nobody to sell anything to. But I doubt that, I bet I could go to a remote Mayan village and start some kind of business, but I probably will sell to tourists, not fellow villagers and try to attract a tourist flow. I think any of my girls could settle in a Mayan hill village and create a business. It would be tough going for awhile, but after a year or two, there would be a cash flow of some sort. In Belize, you have to keep hopping as an entrepreneur. You start a business and it works, within 18 months, copycat businesses start up, to divide the small pie of income into smaller pieces.
