Event Description 

Exiled from their Caribbean homeland of Saint Vincent in the late 18th century, Garifuna Indigenous communities settled around the world. From Central America to England and The Bronx, Garifuna people have cultivated unique and vibrant culinary and medical traditions. This event will explore and personalize Garifuna food, knowledge, and uses of plants as defining elements of their culture and identity.
