The Garifuna, locally known as Garinagu, are mixed with Arawak Indian, Carib Indian and African people who were considered to be enemies of the British during a series of Carib wars in the 1700s. This led to their exile to Roatan from St. Vincent which was uninhabitable at that time. From here, they made their way to the mainland and eventually settled along the Central American coast.
