We don't call our self black carib, we call ourselves Garifuna but black carib is fine also because that's exactly what we are mixed with African and indigenous caribs arawak for the past 400 plus years now so what's your problem with our heritage

It's our culture

I’m Garifuna from Honduras from what I’ve heard we’re Arawak & Nigerian. I’m getting a dna test soon! 🇭🇳

thanx big up

​@@wydchristianwhat did it say?

​@@wydchristianwhat did it say?

@@djoseph5130 i still haven’t gotten one lol combined with moving and being busy it’s be difficult i’ll get one soon and update you

1)I never said Caribs didn't exist. Garifuna is a mix between Caribs and varius African tribes/Nations. I.E. Ashanti, Bakongo and tribes from that region,Igbo etc. 2) Garifuna specifically by definition refers to the Kalipuna AFTER African admixture.

@darkeagle learn how to read, i said garifuna people from st. vincent have higher indigenous blood (30-40%) than the garifuna ppl from central america.

This is because garífunas of Honduras and Guatemala also mingled with the first people of the costs, just look at the mosquitos!

@William Moreno yes that is true for the garifuna communities close to the mosquitia.

@@KingRisiti i 100 perece y agree this is why some garífunas also show large amount of native blood in them!

@William Moreno yes that can be true for many garifuna people who live in the communities in the gracias a dios department in honduras. I myself have miskito ancestry. My grandmother's mother was half miskito/half garifuna. She spoke garifuna, miskito and spanish.

@@KingRisiti thats really cool, for me well my tribe is one of the largest in Honduras with almost 400,000 people, people say we are descendants of the maya but idk could be wrong, only 500 people can speak lenca, our language is almost extinct which is sad reality for many lenca people, but we all have some scaring story of colonization etc!

No sorry!

​@@williammoreno-pp1og he could be you never know 😂😂

@@juanacastillo1772 😭 yeah but the thing is garífuna people are a tribe, someone that that he is not even close too even being in si fr he lives in Mexico, unless his family were garífuna and somehow ended up in Mexico.

How ? If black people were brought to the caribbean during slavery ? There were no blacks in the caribbean before columbus . There were only amerindian

@@vanousisi8112 The documented expeditions in 1311 from Mali. These are the origins of the African/Indigenous mix that are the Kalinago and later the Garinagu. As mentioned above the diaries of Columbus confirm African presence prior to Europeans writing of the Black traders to the south east of Cuba. South east of Cuba is Yurumein or present day St Vincent with Waitukubuli or Dominica nearby.

preach!

And where is it documented that Africans mixed with Kalinagos before Columbus' arrival documented?

@@kayaomodele8924 I’ve never heard of the Mail theory. Columbus did mention black Caribs in his diaries when he name St Vincent. Even the first European settlers were surprised to see these African types on the island. It’s one of the biggest mysteries of the Americas. The mention of these people in Columbus’s diary disproves the prevailing theory that these people were marooned from slave ships.

Thank you! Named after my father who in turn was named for Chatoyer!

@@JosephFlores Ida binya!

Jose vasquez Whoever you're responding to must have me blocked

Joseph Flores I don't

aren't you also Rodney lopez.

Jose vasquez Yes. Who is A real African?

Joseph Flores I said your a real subsarian African 90 percent is pretty high.

what was his last name?

Yes, the last name can tell alot.

The answer to this question lies in the history of the Garifuna people themselves. The Garifuna are a mix between a significant population of 100% Africans and a population of 100% Native Americans. Therefore, modern Garifuna can display a range between both extremes.

To further illustrate I'll give an example. Lets say you have village A) to the north. Village A) is 100% African. You have village B) to the south. Village B) is 100% Native American. Now to the center of both of those villages you have village C). For simplicity lets say village C) is 50/50%. [Even though in reality this village would be as diverse as the modern population with anything ranging from the extremes of village A)&B) to a 75/25% split in either direction, to a 50/50% split. For simplicity lets just say village C) is 50/50].

No, I get this. My question does not pertain to your specific DNA results, or Where a Garifuna person lies on the spectrum. I wanted to know, if the Garifuna people had not intermarried with the other blacks in Central America upon arrival, where are the descendants of the several different black groups who were already there.

Now if i am doing as the Brits and separating all of those villages based on phenotype and ONLY removing those that appear to be African, what is going to happen is im going to end up with more people from village A) and village C). The effect is that on the islands those that are left to pass on genes are those from village B) the 100% Natives [along with those from village C) who would likely have more 75/25 leaning toward the Native side.]

So now what happens here is you have in Central America a majority that represent the genetic structure of village A). While in the Islands you have those who are more representative of population B).

Hi no garifuna language is carib or arawak indigenous to the Caribbean but of course after they intermingle with west Africans it probably has alot of barrowed words from that area. The language also has alot of barrowed words from French and English.

Karen Mason Garifuna Language is mostly Arawak indian & Carib Indian. It's spoken through an African dialect. Meaning the pronunciation of the Indian words themselves. Similar to how Caribbean people speak British English through an African dialect or black people from the southern U.S. speak American English through an African dialect. There are only about 3-5 African loan words. Spanish or French are used for most modern items. Not the language but portions of the spiritual system and culture can be traced back to the Igbo and related groups.

I think Garifuna language find some of its roots to Bantu language. His high Cameroon/Congo and African southeastern bantu percentage confirm that. He must have ancestry from the current Angola and Congo because that's where most bantu slaves came from

@@geoffrey2292 Garifuna is the exact same (now extinct) language of the Kalinago of Dominica. The pronunciation is accurate. Check out the Garifuna Wayuu comparison. They both use Biama as word for the number two. Garifuna are living historians who YET retain their Awarakan language.

Joseph Flores & NUMBERS ARE IN FRENCH

Karr sorry u got the cold shoulder from them but tell you're cousin to keep searching there is a lot of information online and hopefully Mr. Flores can help too.

pgbk87 studies have shown Central American Garifuna to be anywhere from 22-16 % on average. In the video i explained the inadvertent artificial selection process that went on. Where more African looking Garifuna were separated and sent to Central America. This in effect caused a selection of certain genes due to the shortened genepool. It could also be possible if you are Belizean creole your native percents is also coming from some Mayan admixture on that side. So you may be pulling native genes from both sides.

But how does that explain you coming back only 10% Native American? The Garifunas I am talking about are Belizean, Guatemalan and Honduran, and come back ~18%Native American. I have 11 of these samples and don't vary despite them being from different Central American nations. I think it is a valid theory that you are mixed with possibly Maroon Kriols in Gales Point (not very far from Dangriga). For example, I am also 10% Native American but 11% European and only half Garifuna.

pgbk87 no actually i can pretty much trace both sides back to the St. Vincent crossing. Ive personally seen everything from 6 to 18%. In fact you can see some of them here on RUclips. The process of Artificial selection actual answers your question. Study science and then read the article in the discription. I can tell by your responses that you are not very familiar with the study of genetics.

well I will post my results as well as a detailed breakdown of all The Belizean ethnic groups. I will show you the homogeneity of the Central American Garifuna people

pgbk87 For instance. The St. Vincent Garifuna on average show about 50/50 native to African genes. We are the same people but the Central American Garifuna on average are about 16%. This has NOTHING to do with mixing after leaving St.Vincent. It was actually taboo until modern times for a Garifuna to leave the community let alone marry outside of it. Happened but EXTREMELY rarely. This has to do with what science describes as "artificial selection", "founder effect", and "genetic bottlenecking". Because the British were selecting for Phenotype (how someone looks) before exile, it reflects in our genotype. Meaning people with more African genes began mixing with people who had more African genes with the absence of people who had more native genes. The same goes for those left on the island. People with more pure native genes began mixing with people with more Native genes absent of those with more African genes. Before the Brits interfered we were all mixing with various degrees of variation. Today we have common genetic make ups based on which community were from Island or Central America.

yes..... Im so happy to know that you are still adding on and building creating informational videos.... im going to do my Garifuna Ancestral dna result as well...... glad to see your work again.......awesome job.....aba insieni abuti

@@garinagu7 Thanks cuz!

Congrats on your result cuss!

eArPh BoUnD Have heard that suggestion a few times. Think ill do it and keep you guys informed. From the Carib/Arawak side im sure mine will also come back Amazonian. Where are you from?

I'm from the US. The Amazonian dna is a mystery to me. I've discovered that my mom has Cuban ancestry and my father has some Haitian ancestry but we all identify as African American. Weird thing is, my mom had no NA. Which means I got the NA from my dad but it's from South America so it has me confused because he doesn't have any South American ancestry that I'm aware of...or maybe he does and I just haven't pieced it together. In any event my father is deceased now so I guess I'll never really know. =/ I'm just curious if a person from South America or the Caribbean has NA what type of NA will it show up as, ya know. It'll help me get an idea.

The Caribs and Arawaks (Kalinagu &Taino) both migated to the Caribbean from South America. From the mouth of the Amazon and Orinoco rivers.

***** Thank you for that. I need to look more into it. I look forward to your next vid on this if you do one.

waiting on that 3rd part Joseph! just a mestizo honduran with no Garifuna heritage but very grateful that we share honduran land with the Garinagu!

Cree X my sisters dad is Garifuna too. he's 92% African, 7% native American. <1% pacific islander. Garifuna are African and Arawak/Carib. these results are typical for Garifuna.

Sapa Inti That's interesting that he got -1% Pacific Islander. I'm Jamaican and most of my ancestry was West and Central African and European, but was curious about this -1% Pacific Islander result. I dismissed it as nothing but I wonder if it is some Arawakan DNA showing up.

@@moniquel6273 me too im jamaican female and ive pacific islander and small trace of amerindian i wonder the same thing. My dad refuses to test i would know more if he did but maternally it seems as if they did not mix much my moms african is 96.7 on 23 and me. Mine is 95. My maternal ancestors were kept secured it looks i am also a maroon descendant.
