Art and Craft Show & Tell
Post a photo of a piece from your home collection and tell us what it means to you. Anything goes—something your kindergartener made or a piece you purchased from a gallery.
This #painting is by distinguished Belizean artist Pen Cayetano. His work often depicts #Garifuna culture. Here, women are shown processing cassava, their staple food. Cayetano is also the inventor or Punta Rock music. It was an honor to meet him and his wife Ingrid on our travels to #Belize.

“The same powers that murdered #BertaCáceres for defending rivers and forests of Lenca people, are operating in Garifuna territories, preventing food sovereignty and self-determination in our communities,” said Miriam Miranda, the Garifuna leader and close friend and comrade of Cáceres.

Mordanschlag auf Garífuna-Aktivistin in #Honduras
Vier Männer haben am 21. Juni ein Attentat auf die #Garífuna -Aktivistin Mabel Robledo verübt. Sie überlebte. Unmittelbar nach dem Mordversuch wurde sie von der Polizei misshandelt. Robledo war mit drei weiteren Personen in einem Auto unterwegs, als sich ein Fahrzeug näherte. Einer von vier bewaffneten Männern in kugelsicheren Westen ohne Kennzeichnung sprang heraus und schoss zweimal auf sie. Er verfehlte sie jedoch.

No se me ocurre un disco más hermoso para compartirles hoy. Encarguitos del Caribe, de Guillermo Anderson, producido por él y por Eduardo (Guayo) Cedeño, quien además toca guitarra. Un disco irrepetible, porque lamentablemente ambos murieron demasiado temprano. Ambos hondureños, los dos tenían un enorme respeto por la cultura garífuna. En el disco podrán escuchar un caracol, instrumento característico de esta música.
En el disco se incluye Santo Negro, una pieza garífuna, cantada en ese idioma por Aurelio Martínez, un artista muy reconocido de ese grupo étnico. El pueblo garífuna es: "descendiente de africanos y pueblos originarios caribes y arahuacos de varias regiones del Caribe, que principalmente reside en Honduras y Guatemala" (Wikipedia).
La canción El Encarguito menciona casi todas las delicias centroamericanas que alguien que está en Estados Unidos quisiera recibir cuando alguien visita. "Ojalá pase en la aduana", cabra Guillermo, sabiendo que no, en la aduana no dejan pasar empanadas de loroco ni seis baleadas.

Family of #AfroIndigenous #activist in immigration detention worries he may be deported back to danger
Story by Nicole Acevedo
6-25-2024"#ErlinCenteno's family has feared being permanently separated since the father of three children was detained four months ago following a routine check-in with #immigration authorities in New York City.
"The lives of Centeno and his family were endangered after four of his cousins were killed and he started receiving many letters and text messages containing death threats, according to court transcripts obtained by NBC News of his testimony to an immigration judge. The threats were a result of the work he and his cousins did defending the territorial rights of Afro Indigenous communities in his homeland known as #Garifuna, according to Centeno and his wife.
[...]
"The Garifuna people are descendants of enslaved #Africans, and also #Arawak and #Caribbean #Indigenous communities who have historically been displaced from their ancestral lands. Many of them remain in #Guatemala, #Nicaragua and #Belize — but most of them are in #Honduras, where they face high levels of violence, #racism and extreme poverty, according to the Inter-American Commission on #HumanRights (IACHR).
"#Centeno started advocating for #GarifunaRights in 2020, working with the Black Fraternal Organization of Honduras, one of the most prominent Garifuna nonprofits in Honduras. According to an #IACHR report, their members have long been harassed, threatened, beaten, kidnapped and killed amid land grabbing and territorial disputes involving industries with high economic interests in the region — which has intensified as local #investors have sought to #develop the area — as well as local gangs fighting over territories."

„Wir dürfen nicht zulassen, das Land zu verlieren“
Radiobeitrag zu Landkämpfen der afro-indigenen #Garífuna in #Honduras
Die afro-indigenen Garífuna leben an der honduranischen Karibikküste. Dem systematischen Landraub begegnen sie mit Prozessen der Rückgewinnung ihrer angestammten Territorien. Mit Unterstützung von engagierten Garífuna aus anderen Gemeinden nehmen die Teile ihres Landes mit friedlichen Mitteln wieder in Besitz.

Leafing through this beautiful revised and expanded edition of #The500YearsOfIndigenousResistenceComicBook by #GordHill has my branches just quivering…
When he updates this again, I hope he adds the story of the #Garifuna resistance to French and English rule on so-called #StVincent which was so fierce that they kept the island free of colonizers for appx 100 years and the fort eventually built had its canons facing inland, rather than the usual out to sea, because the true threat was indigenous resistance that than other European war mongers. Mad respect to #Satuye/ #JosephChatoyer, the Garifuna chief who was killed due to betrayal just before a decisive battle 1795, at which point the resistance collapsed. The Garifuna were eventually rounded up and largely forced off the island, endured horrific conditions of forced displacement for several years on a series of essentially desert islands before finally arriving on Honduras coast where they are still found today and from which they have spread in diaspora along the coast, and to the US and Canada, mostly in large cities on the east coast.
