Garifuna women
The women This means that the women are at the center of the household and descendants trace their bloodline through their mother’s family. According to one author, “The women are very actively a part of the Garifuna social culture and are known for their leadership ability and articulate speech”(Global Neighbors: Garifuna History, 1).
