In this channel you will learn about the Garifuna culture. A native town of San Vicente in the Lesser Antilles. That he suffered genocide at the hands of the British in the late 17th century. On March 14 its top leader Joseph Satuye was vilely assassinated, apparently in combat, and this sad event would change Garifuna history completely, since when Satuye died the British took control of the island. Between July 1796 and March 1797 the Garifuna were divided based on the color of their skin, around 5000 Garifuna with darker complexions were captured and exiled by the British to the Island of Baliceaux where more than half died of malnutrition. and diseases. On March 11, 1797, 2,200 Garifuna undertook a forced 31-day exile in which about 200 died on the journey, the 2,000 survivors arriving on the island of Roatan, Honduras on April 12, 1797. The Garifuna share the struggles of all the black peoples of Latin America.
