Honorary Consul's Monthly Message
Welcome to the September Monthly Newsletter!
|
|
The month of September has been filled with the usual national festivities and while most of the events took place virtually, Belizeans across the globe had the opportunity to unite in the celebrations to commemorate two important milestones in Belizean history, The Battle of Saint Geoge’s Caye Day and Belize’s 39th Independence Day.
The poignant memories of past September celebrations still echo when a march was not a march unless Lord Rhaburn or Boom and Shine were leading it with their vibrant live bands, bringing good cheer and life to Belize’s celebrations. While so much has changed since then, the will and spirit of the Belizean people remain as bright and as fierce as it was back then.
For many who don’t know much about Belize, it is a mystery how Belize, comprised of so many ethnicities, along with varied religions and traditions could live in peace and harmony. In-spite of its neighboring countries who have historically been plagued by political and civil unrest, Belize has always indeed been a “…..tranquil haven of democracy.” What is Belize’s secret? I don’t have the answer but we seem to understand, tolerate, respect and yes, genuinely love each other. We even manage to celebrate the unique cultural differences between us. Why, the Garifuna celebrations are perhaps one of the biggest holidays in Belize when Belizeans from all across the country meet in Stann Creek to honor the Garifuna settlers who came to Belize seeking safe harbor. We dance the Punta all night until sunrise and feast on sere and hudut. But Belizeans join in other cultural celebrations along with its other fellow men and women, down in the “…. proud Rio Hondo to old Sarstoon, through coral isle, over blue lagoon…” Indeed, we are many varied peoples but we are one “....One nation under God…..” Perhaps if others took a page out of the Belizean way of life, there would be peace in the world.
It’s been a long time in the Sahara Desert for many in the Diaspora waiting for the moment to freely travel home and finally the wait is over! Tomorrow, Thursday, October 1st the PGIA will reopen for all to travel. Please take the time to review all the requirements in place before making your travel plans. Enjoy and Safe travels!
We know that many of you who live in the US are in need of applying for a passport renewal or replacement. Plans are being finalized to re-open consular services in US during the early part of October 2020 so please call or email your local office to inquire on the first available appointment.
In earlier editions we announced that we will be featuring, the ‘Belizean Street Food series’ and it is finally here! We look forward to sharing with you the many delicious recipes! The traditional, “Recipe of the Month” section you have come to enjoy will still be featured and this month it’s Rice and Beans, Stewed Chicken and Potato Salad, a true, tried and tested, long standing tradition found on all Belizean dinner tables made to celebrate any occasion but especially the September holidays.
In this edition, we present the latest video address to the nation given by the Prime Minister of Belize, the Rt. Hon. Dean O. Barrow broadcasted on September 21st, 2020.
Similarly, we invite you to read this month’s informative message from the Ambassador of Belize in Washington, DC, H.E. Daniel Gutierrez, under “Ambassador’s Desk”.

Belizean Beauties!
Discover the Origin of each Ethnic Group!
|
|
|
The second-largest group, comprising one-third of the population, was identified as Mestizos, or persons of mixed Hispanic-American origin. 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.
Mestizo food consists of an even-mix of Spanish tradition and Mayan ingenuity pulling elements like escabeche and Relleno soup, tortillas, corn porridge, cochinita pibil, and tamales, to name a few. The belief system of the mestizo is predominantly Christian.

The earliest evidence of the influx of East Indians in Belize was in 1858 when the British Parliament arranged for the transport of some one thousand mutineers with their wives and families after the suppression of the Indian mutiny.
The East Indian that came again in the 1880s were from Jamaica, brought mainly to work on the sugar estates of ex-confederates who settled in the Toledo district after fleeing the Civil War in the U.S.A. About the same time, some East Indians who had previously been employed in Guatemala planting coffee also settled in Toledo.
By the turn of the 20th century, East Indians had also settled in Calcutta and San Antonio in the Corozal District in northern Belize cultivating a variety of fruits and vegetables for sale.
Today, they live mostly in communities in the Toledo district.

The Maya, the first inhabitants of Belize, are the more prominent of the classical civilizations of Mesoamerica . Originating in the Yucatán around 2600 B.C., they rose to prominence around A.D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico , Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Between 1200 and 600 BC Maya ideology was influenced to some degree by the Olmec people from the Tabasco-Veracruz area.
During this time the Belize Maya Incorporated many Olmec-like symbols on their ceramics and artifacts.The Belize Maya also exported many objects and produce to their neighbors. The raw material for a large slate stela from Calakmul for example was likely shaped by river and overland routes from the Maya Mountains.

In Belize, the Creole population are descendants of the British settlers and African slaves that were brought to Belize in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Creoles evolved from urban-focused people who worked seasonally in the forest, mostly cutting mahogany and harvesting chicle, and as forestry declines, they looked for occupations on the waterfront in service industries, and in government.
|
|
|
|
|
The Garifuna are the descendants of the African survivors of human cargo ships that were wrecked off the island of St Vincent around 1675.
Support for the defeated Conservative forces brought charges of treason in the 1830s and prompted a further maritime dispersion to coastal areas in neighbouring Nicaragua, Guatemala and Belize. The first settlement in Belize was established at Dangriga, which still holds the largest Garifuna population in the country.
|
|
|

The first Mennonites came to Belize in 1957 as part of a diplomatic mission. These Mennonites, who emigrated from various Canadian locations, came to Belize (British Honduras) from Chihuahua, Mexico, where they had been living for many years.
They met with then Premiere of the country, George C. Price, to discuss making this tiny country their new home. In return for allowing them to stay in Belize, the Mennonites brought with them large-scale agriculture which there was a great need for in the country at the time. George Price granted them the freedom to live and farm, freedom to practice their religion, and a promise that their children would not be required to serve in the armed forces. As such, in 1958, the first colony of Mennonites was established in Spanish Lookout, located approximately 34 kilometers from what is now the capital city of Belmopan.
|
|
|
|
|
The Middle Eastern & Indians |
Even more recently than the Mennonites, Belize has seen an influx of Middle eastern peoples. They hail mostly from Lebanon and Syria and come to Belize mostly as merchants, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
|
|
|
|
One of the largest influxes of newcomers have been Asians mainly from Mainland China and Taiwan and a few from Japan. Travelers are frequently taken aback by the number of Chinese restaurants and grocery shops throughout Belize.
