Garifuna Americans or Black Carib Americans are Americans of Garifuna ancestry, who are descendants of Arawak, Kalinago (Island Carib), and Afro-Caribbean people living in Saint Vincent.[2][3] Many Garifuna were exiled from St. Vincent to the Central American countries of Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, and Nicaragua before moving to the United States.
