History
The first inhabitants in what is now Belize who developed a succinct culture were the Maya. Belize was an important part in the great Mayan Empire. The Maya Empire was possibly the most sophisticated civilization in the ancient Americas. Including modern day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, and Honduras, the Mayas reached their peak in the 6th, 7th, and 8th centuries AD. However, by the 14TH Century this once great civilization mysteriously declined. By the time the Spanish arrived in the 16TH Century, Maya presence was barely felt. Even though the Spanish ruled Belize since their arrival in the new world, they were never able to truly control the area. For them, Belize was a backwater, good only for cutting dye wood. This lack of control eventually allowed for pirates from England and Scotland to come in and find sanctuary during the 17th century. When pirating became a less popular profession, these former buccaneers turned to cutting log wood in the rich tropical forests of Belize.

MYSTERIES OF THE MAYA COME ALIVE IN BELIZE
Belize Preserves Ancient Culture and Offers Tourists A Glimpse At The Past For the people of Belize, Mundo Maya (The World of the Maya) is more than a joint program established with its neighbors to help preserve the rich Maya culture. It is a deep-rooted passion that is felt in every corner of this small Central American country. While deeply immersed in the traditions of the Maya, Belize is now the only English-speaking country in the Maya world. The spirit of the Mundo Maya is in the faces of Garifuna (Carib-Indian) and Creole children, as they help prepare a daily meal in their villages. It is in the women dressed in traditional, colorful garb as they celebrate the Deer Dance, a nine-day Maya cultural celebration, or washing the family's clothes, waist-deep in creeks. It can also be found in the many professional guides who will gladly explain the mystical Maya culture at any one of the hundreds of Maya sites within Belize.

TASKS:
One: Postcards
Think about your own culture. Do you have any family traditions that are related to your heritage? What types of foods do you eat? How do you dress? What holidays do you celebrate and why are they important? What kinds of music do you listen to? Design a postcard with one side being a picture you create by hand, collage, or computer that reflects something important from your native culture and the other written as if you're sending it to a person in Belize. Pretend you are living with a family in your chosen country. You should learn as much as you can about Belize from the links below. Create a postcard to send to someone at home: friend, family, teacher. Design a postcard with one side being a picture you create by hand, collage, or computer that reflects something you have learned from the culture to which you are traveling, and the other written to someone at home (friend, relative, teacher).
Two: Create Your Own Culture
After learning about Belize's culture, think about how it compares to your own. Form a group with one person who studied each other country in this quest (Morocco, India, Egypt). Discuss among the four of you the following: What is good about each culture? What is interesting about each culture? From these observations, create a culture for yourself. Some questions you might consider are the following: Where would you live? Near mountains? Oceans? North or south? How would you dress? What would be the family structure be like? What would your flag look like? What kinds of foods would you eat? What sorts of resources would you need to survive in this weather? What would you celebrate? Use any information gathered in this webquest to create a united culture from your own culture and the four cultures studied here.

http://countrystudies.us/belize/23.htm
THE CULTURAL DIVERSITY OF BELIZEAN SOCIETY
Belize Table of Contents
Ethnicity
The most salient characteristic of Belizean society in the late 1980s was ethnic diversity. Ethnicity in Belize was not reduced to race, but instead referred to the collective identities formed through a complex interplay of racial, linguistic, and religious factors, as well as a sense of shared history and custom. The two largest ethnic groups together constituted almost three-quarters of the population. The 1980 census listed 39.7 percent of the population as Creole, a group usually defined as English speakers descended wholly or in part from African slaves imported to work in the colonial mahogany industry. The 1980 census combined the previously separate "black" and "coloured" segments of the population into a single group. Consequently, there was considerable physical diversity among people listed as Creole. A folk system of racial classification further hierarchically divided Creoles on the basis of such physical features as skin shade, facial features, and hair texture. Despite political independence, the colonial social bias toward "clear" or light skin and European features endured in contemporary Belizean society. The second largest group, comprising one-third of the population, was identified as Mestizos, or persons of mixed Hispanic-Amerindian origin. In the local Creole vernacular, the Mestizos were known as "Spanish." The physical appearance of the Mestizos varied but not to the extent that it varied among Creoles. Most Belizean Mestizos were descended from refugees of the midnineteenth -century Caste War of Yucatán. The majority of them settled in the northern districts of Corozal and Orange Walk, where they initiated the cultivation of sugarcane in Belize.

Belize History and Culture
HISTORY OF BELIZE The Mayan civilization spread into the area of Belize between 1500 BC and AD 300 and flourished until about AD 1200. Several major archeological sites, notably Caracol, Lamanai, Lubaantun, Altun Ha, and Xunantunich, reflect the advanced civilization and much denser population of that period. European contact began in 1502 when Christopher Columbus sailed along the coast. The first recorded European settlement was begun by shipwrecked English seamen in 1638. Over the next 150 years, more English settlements were established. This period also was marked by piracy, indiscriminate logging, and sporadic attacks by Indians and neighboring Spanish settlements. Great Britain first sent an official representative to the area in the late 18th century but Belize was not formally termed the "Colony of British Honduras" until 1840. It became a crown colony in 1862. Subsequently, several constitutional changes were enacted to expand representative government. Full internal self-government under a ministerial system was granted in January 1964. The official name of the territory was changed from British Honduras to Belize in June 1973, and full independence was granted on September 21, 1981.

Caribbean Beat in Central America
By Don Moore
A slightly edited version of this article was originally published in the January, 1989 issue of Monitoring Times magazine. Where in the world would people name towns Gallon Jug, Washing Tree, Double Head Cabbage, Orange Walk Town, Burrel Boom, and Monkey River? Nowhere else but easy-going Belize, the world's number one producer of humorous place names. Perhaps these names are a product of Belize's distinctive history. Belize was once part of the great Maya Indian civilization. The Spanish came in the 1500s, claimed Belize, and tried a few tentative settlements. Finding no gold or silver, they soon left. In the 1600s, English pirates used Belize's numerous coves and offshore islands as bases from where they launched raids on Spanish treasure fleets. Along with their booty, the pirates carried stories of Belize's huge mahogany forests back to England. Soon British loggers and their slaves set up camp among the pirate bases. Pirates, loggers, and slaves mingled. As time passed, new groups were added to the mixture. An ethnically diverse nation was born.
Ethnically Diverse
Today about half of Belize's population is of mixed ancestry, descendants of loggers, pirates, and slaves; with negro slave blood predominating. The rest of the population is quite a hodgepodge. About twenty percent are Mayan Indians; Kekchi Mayas who have always lived in Belize, and Mopan Mayas who came in the 1860s, fleeing a civil war in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Another ten percent is German Mennonite. They came looking for a place to practice their simple agrarian religion, and today their farms are Belize's breadbasket.

Tanah Art Museum
Maya Culture ~ Garcia Sisters
Cayo District, Belize
In the Yucateca Mayan Village of San Antonio , located on the Cristo Rey Road there is a humble limestone and clay building with a simple palm thatch leaf roof known as the Tanah Art Museum. On display in the museum are magnificent slate stone carvings of an ancient Caracol ruler, a famous Palenque elder, a Xunantunich warrior, a Maya ceremonial table for offerings of thanksgiving, and a replica of the Sun God Kunich Ahua from Altun Ha, to name just a few. Once a year the artists collect the slate stone used both now and by their ancient ancestors for carving from specific locations among the creeks and river beds. The artists are drawn to particular stones. The act of walking through the creek bed, getting soaked, putting hands on the earth, and feeling the smoothness or roughness of new stone revitalizes both the body and the spirit. It is a sacred time. These stones , some small and others very large and bulky, must now be carried back to their truck on the roadside several miles upstream.

    Introduction to Belize
    Belize is a subtropical country situated on the East Coast of Central America in the heart of the Caribbean Basin. It borders with Mexico to the North and Guatemala on the west. On the east is the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Belize has a 174-mile coastline that is home to the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. The coast mangroves constitute an excellent habitat for birds, fish, shellfish and marine organisms. Belize is also graced with tropical forests, mountains and superior agricultural land. The Mayan history in Belize is extremely rich. With more than 600 Maya cities, Belize is the center of the ancient Maya world and an active participant in the Mundo Maya program.

    http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/afburns/afrotrop/Garifuna.htm
    Another influence that the Garifuna had in their defining lines of their culture was the obvious influence of the French during the beginning stages of colonial development in the New World. It was during this time that French missionaries were exploring the region of the Caribbean and teaching the Island Caribs many words of their native tongue, including the use of French numbers and counting systems. Certain expressions were than fused with the Arawak language that the Island Caribs were speaking. This created the Garifuna language that can still be heard counting in French today (Global Neighbors: Garifuna history, 1).
    All of these things combined have provided a brief understanding of who the Garifuna are, and where they come from. Furthermore, it has become apparent through reference points to other cultures and more in-depth studies of the Garifuna that their roots were cultivated in many places around the globe. For example, the traditions of their music dance, religious rites, and rituals are all very much seeded in their link to their African ancestry. While the Garinagu forms of subsistence, on the other hand, are more associated with their Island Carib ancestors. Even the European settlers of the New World had a very profound effect on the development of the Garifuna culture. The same culture that is characterized by the blending of distant pieces of worldly influences, driven by the human intuition to survive, and fueled by the desire for freedom.

    BELIZE WILDLANDS PROGRAM SUMMER SECTION: FULL June 26 - August 7, 2004 WINTER SECTION: January 4 - February 15, 2005 Each section grants 15 quarter system units (equivalent to 10 semester units.) MEETING PLACE: San Francisco, CA In both the Summer and Winter Programs, team members will take part in unique, firsthand investigations of Belize's diverse tropical ecosystems, the remarkable animal and plant communities found there, and the human cultures they support. Lodged just below Mexico's Yucatan peninsula on the Caribbean, and formerly known as British Honduras, Belize's relatively unknown and distinctly exotic lands stir the imagination. Far removed from other Central American countries in history, culture, ethnic makeup, and language, Belize stands apart as a politically stable ex-British colony whose official tongue is English. From barrier reef to towns of rebel African slave descendants; from lowland neo-tropical jungle to Mayan Indian villages; from mountainous hardwood rainforest to isolated Mennonite settlements; Belize offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to explore a truly wild place, not yet overwhelmed by the pressures of global expansionism. Here, in a dramatic cross section of landscapes, participants will gain a unique understanding of Belize's interwoven ecosystems and cultures while participating directly in field studies to help preserve Belize's ecological and cultural heritage.

    Le Bliss Institute Le centre culturel le plus important du Belize s'appelle Bliss Institute. Il doit son origine (et son nom) au baron Bliss, un Anglais qui vint en vacances au Belize dans les années 1920. Il s'y plut tellement qu'il décida de léguer toute sa fortune au pays. Situé le long de Southern Foreshore à Belize City, le Bliss Institute abrite plusieurs institutions, notamment la Bibliothèque nationale et le National Arts Council. On peut y voir des expositions d'art contemporain, ainsi qu'une petite collection d'objets mayas découverts au site de Caracol. Des concerts et des représentations théâtrales sont régulièrement donnés dans le cadre du National Arts Council.

    Belize is a kayakers paradise with her numerous off shore islands sitting in a calm Caribbean sea along the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. Rivers cris cross the country, coursing through wild jungle . Belize is known as "mother nature's best kept secret". Her landscape will take you from rain forest to Savannah to pine forest to sandy beaches all in the tiny area of 8,876 sq. miles. More than one fifth of Belize's total land is set aside as Nature Reserve. Although rich in natural history, this is a small country not over run with tourism. You can still find deserted islands and hike the forest in area's where you will see no other humans, only animals. Belize is a small nation in Central America bordered on the east by the Caribbean sea, on the north by Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and on the west and south by Guatemala. Belize is a peaceful nation under British common law and English is the official language of the country. The motto in Belize seems to be "why hurry?". When traveling to Belize, you can expect the unexpected. If you have a sense of adventure and "go with the flow" attitude you will bring home many great stories to share with friends. The Belize Barrier Reef and inner cayes are home to a diverse grouping of hard and soft corals. Amongst these corals live over 350 different species of tropical fish. You snorkel amongst tangs, parrot fish, angel fish, rays and often harmless nurse sharks while swimming in bath warm water. If you look closely, you may spot brightly colored tunicates, fire worms or sea horses dancing in the mangrove roots.
