The Garifuna &#8211; an indigenous people formed from the blending of Native American, African, and European bio-cultural traits &#8211; are an appropriate topic for the study of the formation and retention of cultural identity within the Caribbean Basin. This presentation starts with the formation of their cultural matrix over time and space within a context, where conventional wisdom held that all native peoples had been exterminated. It continues with the Garifuna creating opportunities for the consolidation of their identity in the Eastern Caribbean during the latter of half of the nineteenth century, within decades of armed conflict imposed on them by the British. It ends by the author citing examples from his own involvement in academic and popular activism within the indigenous people movement in his home country Belize since the early 1970s.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen ¿Cómo fue que los Garifuna adquirieron el estatus de indígenas? Reconstrucción de la persona cultural de los nativos de Centroamérica. El título del artículo aquí presentado pretende llamar la atención al relativo reciente origen la nomenclatura &#8220;indígena&#8221; en referencia a nativos del Nuevo Mundo. Los Garifuna &#8211;grupo indígena conformado a partir dela mezcla entre nativos americanos, africanos y el carácter bio-cultural legado por los europeos &#8211; constituyen un tópico adecuado para el estudio de la formación y retención de la identidad cultural en la revoltura caribeña. Esta presentación inicia destacando la formación de la matriz cultural en el tiempo y el espacio dentro de un contexto en el que la sabiduría convencional que detentaban los pueblos originarios fue exterminada. Continua, haciendo referencia a la creación de oportunidades por parte de los Garifuna para consolidar su identidad en el Caribe oriental a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, en que se suscitaron décadas de conflicto armado impuesto sobre ellos por los británicos. Termina, con citas de ejemplos de vida del mismo autor relativas a su activismo en los ámbitos académico y movimiento popular indígena en Belice, su país de origen, desde el inicio de la década de 1970.]]></p></abstract>
