The Garifunas, People Who Found Freedom on Shores | SLICE TRAVEL

The hostile sea can also be, for some people, a protection. Several communities from South America - hiding from the sea’s currents - have used it to reclaim their freedom. In Honduras, the Garifunas were slaves on the run who managed to escape their fate by settling on isolated shores. They fish, grow crops, follow the beliefs of their African ancestors, and structure their life around a single rule: to do what they please. “The sea created us” say the Garifunas. These descendants of slaves live today in tightly knit communities along the coast in Honduras, away from the world and its noise.
