This Garifuna practice is communal. The so called world religions have stigmatize our God given spiritual rights due to the Garinagu historical stance. From day one colonization wanted to convert our people to their faith which in turn deteriorated the culture. Some of the Garifuna people confirmed and we now have Anglicans, Catholics, Muslims etc. but thanks to the grassroots, the culture survived. You can call it a reunion for a week with drum music and positive spiritual cleansing but the host family main concern is to address the ills among themselves and mend hard feelings back to the harmonious way of life of our forefathers. At the end of our celebration a cross on a table is lit to the appeasement of our ancestors.

Belize
I'm an indigenous, Garifuna, cultural artist from Belize. My intention is to entertain and educate through art. Although my undergraduate degree is in Game Art Design (3D), I minored in Fine Art so my body of work also includes pencil, watercolor, acrylic and oil. My pieces consists of current affairs, historical events, firsthand witness of my childhood observations, dreams, also there are a few paintings inspired by knowledgeable elders based on their experiences and passed oral accounts. Other aspects of my work touch on the social, political and spiritual components of my Garifuna heritage. However, since there is another distinct black culture in Belize known as Creole that makes up the population, we also have the original Mayans, Mestiso, East Indians, middle Easterners and Asians whose lifestyles I try to cover as well.
