Chachawuate, Honduras, 2001 Photograph by Susie Post Rust A Garfuna
woman scrubs clothes on a washboard in the Honduran coastal village of
Chachawuate.

The Garfuna culture was born when a slave ship wrecked off St. Vincent
in 1635, throwing together West Africans aboard the vessel with St.
Vincent's Carib Indians, originally immigrants from South America.
Today some 60 Garfuna fishing villages dot the Central American coast.

(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Garfuna:
Weaving a Future From a Tangled Past," September 2001, National
Geographic magazine)    RELATED
