There was no agreement, says Xiomara Caucho, Garifuna representative to the national bilingual education program. |

| | The larger victory for global acceptance was that the Garifuna were being vindicated for a claim that they had always made. | | | I am suggesting that persons with the appropriate expertise look at these qualities and see why a set of people have been able to excel in them as against other fields; and whether there are any historical explanations that could be proposed. | | | The Gulisi story brought out the extended nature of Garifuna kinship ties that goes beyond communities and national boundaries. |
