home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Belize Culture The Maya built breathtaking temple complexes aligned to the movement of celestial bodies. Although they remained technically a Stone Age culture, they also developed sophisticated mathematics, astronomy and calendars. The Spanish constructed some plain stone churches, but the modern architecture is predominantly British Caribbean in style. The majority of Belize's population are Roman Catholics, but British influence has created a sizable and varied protestant congregation, including German Swiss Mennonites. The Mayan practice of Catholicism is a fascinating fusion of shamanist-animist and Christian ritual. Belize has never really developed a national cuisine. Its cooking borrows elements from the UK, the USA, Mexico and the Caribbean. The traditional staples are rice and beans. These are often eaten with chicken, pork, beef, fish or vegetables. Coconut milk and fried plaintain add a tropical flavor. Exotic traditional foods include armadillo, venison and fried paca , a controversial brown-spotted rodent (similar to a guinea pig) that conservationist-gourmets won't touch with a ten foot cassava.

The official language of Belize is English and most islanders speak and understand English but the main language is still Spanish. The Mayan that some of the present settlers' ancestors once spoke in no longer spoken. Islanders also speak Creole; a language or dialect derived from the English language. Due to the influence of Mayan, Creole and English languages most of the islanders speak today what is known as "kitchen Spanish" - informal Spanish that incorporates English, Mayan and Creole words. An example is "pullar". The word comes from the English root "pull" and adds a Spanish suffix "ar". The English definition is "pull". The Mexican settlers also brought with them a distinctly rich culture with traditions comprised of Spanish, Mayan and Catholic elements. Many of these traditions are still followed today. Some such of these is the observance of religious feast days and regulations such as the Lenten Season, an important aspect of Catholicism; regular attendance at Church especially at Easter and Christmas and the celebration of Sacraments. Easter Procession and Novenas (prayers) are spectacular annual events and have the participation of almost the entire local population of San Pedro Town.

Belize Culture The people of Belize seem very cheerful, friendly and helpful. Most of the people are descendants from Mayan Indian or the mix of early British settlers and African slaves. Nearly all are dark skinned. Quite a number of Chinese have migrated there in recent years. Though theft is a major problem there, we felt very safe. Violent crime is very low. By U.S. standards, poverty is high, but discontent with lifestyle does not seem evident. It seemed to us that the aspiration of many Belizieans is to own a little shop in their home so they can be independent and set their own hours.

7. Belize Culture Project, Belize-NH Teachers Program Community Portraits WebPartnership, an extension of my sixth grade culture curriculumand I traveled to Belize through the BelizeNH Teacher Program, run by http://www.concord.k12.nh.us/steve/belizeweb/project.html

THE PROJECT I thought.... How can I connect my sixth grade students in Concord, New Hampshire with students in Belize... Create a project where students in both cultures learn about, and befriend, one another... Thus the beginning of the Community Portraits WebPartnership , an extension of my sixth grade culture curriculum and also directly tied to a unique project already in motion, Community Portraits, between my school and The Park Alternative School in Cambridge, MA. I traveled to Belize through the Belize-NH Teacher Program, run by Sheila Adams and Bert Cohen out of the University of New Hampshire-Durham. The program connects U.S. teachers with classrooms and fellow professionals in Belize. The relationship promotes a a diverse agenda including: awareness about life in Belize, exchange of pedagogical skills, and creativity in the classroom. For me it was incrediby energizing. An unparalleled opportunity to expand my curriculum and to refresh myself (which I did both). I chose to work in a magnificent K-8 school in rural San Pedro Columbia. A small farming village of about 1000 persons. I traveled there alone, and worked in the school for a total of three days. I assisted two teachers, Eduardo in grade 5 (Standard III) and Franklin in grade 6 (Standard IV). I lived with (and received incredible hospitality from) the Sanchez family. I had the opportunity to teach a variety of lessons including cooperative lessons in decimal comparison and in biology. Yet the highlight was to be able to extend my class' integrated culture curriculum (a mix of social studies, writing, and technology) to the students of San Pedro Columbia. The project has several components:

8. THE BELIZE CULTURE LIST DEBATE ON JOBS, AND ETHNIC PERCEPTIONS, Belize Developme REPORT 199 Mar 2000 THE belize culture LIST DEBATE ON JOBS, AND ETHNICPERCEPTIONS Produced by the Belize Development Trust. Mel http://www.ambergriscaye.com/BzLibrary/trust199.html

REPORT #199 Mar 2000 THE BELIZE CULTURE LIST DEBATE ON JOBS, AND ETHNIC PERCEPTIONS Produced by the Belize Development Trust Mel and Ashley are certainly philosphers. ( Debate on ethnic problems and employment) But from where I stand, the argument that townies think Chinese are taking their jobs is false. When I say townies, the majority are Creoles. When I first immigrated to the colony of British Honduras, I was one of only about six "whites" in the whole country, that were not either in the British Army, or colonial service, but simply immigrants. At that time, the CREOLES or townies dominated the country, yet even at that time with over 75% of all jobs and all businesses and control of all government services, they still complained of racial discrimination. Go figure that one out! I never could as a "white minority". The complaints have never stopped. There is more here than meets the eye. It is a cultural inheritance. An idea that townies ( Creoles ) are owed something by the government. In particular a 40 hour a week salaried job. But pray tell, where is the government going to get the money to pay for a salaried job for every townie? It doesn't exist in any history of Central European countries over the last 200 years and they are white countries. They faced the same exact problems, with agricultural economies ( non industrial) and a government composed of privileged aristocrats, royalty and those politically famous, or in the military. All of them suffered the same result, which was national bankruptcy, for trying to provide jobs to townies in an economy that could not support them.

This society consists of Creole, Garifuna, Spanish, English, Mestizo, Lebanese, Chinese, Maya and East Indian. The largest group is made up of Mestizos, which account for over 40% of the population. The Mestizos are descendents of mixed blood Mexicans and Yacatec Mayans who fled from the Yucatan in the mid 1800's. The second largest of these groups are the Creole, which comprise about 30% of the population. Creoles are the descendants of the early British settlers cohabitating with African slaves from Jamaica. Two thirds of the Creole population lives in Belize City the capital of Belize. They are featured in political parties, the media and the civil service. The Garifuna comprise about seven percent of the population and have their own language and culture. The Garifuna came to Belize from Honduras in the early nineteenth century. This group is the result of intermingling of African slaves, Carib Indians and Europeans. Their main customs are agriculture and fishing. Their main occupations are teachers or civil servants and they are known as remarkable linguists and students. November 19th is retained as a national holiday in Belize to commemorate the arrival of the Garifuna to Belize. Theses people have their own language, food and music. They are a festive people and have earned recognition for a dance called the Punta. This is a dance in which coupled dancers try to outdo each other with a variation of movements. The language is the result of a fusion of several cultures, namely Caribs, French, Arawaks and Spanish cultures.
