    Mayan clothing
    A large part of the population was dedicated to agricultural activities, which is why they wore
    clothing appropriate to the necessary conditions; in addition, the clothing depended on the
    social level. Most people dressed simply: the women with the sovon or hipil or a skirt and their
    cloak; and the men with a kind of underwear called patí . However, the nobility wore rich and
    complicated outfits embroidered with feathers and gems , wore mixeda sandals and wore large
    feather headdresses, as well as necklaces , pectorals and heavy belts inlaid with mother-of -
    pearl and engraved stones. Other common garments among nobles were skirts, short or long
    capes, jackets (usually made of jaguar skin or cotton ), decorations of shells , snails , and
    geometric designs. Apart from the headdress, some nobles and priests wore enormous
    earflaps, nose rings, bracelets and rings made of jade , quartz and gold , and pierced their chins

    Mayan traditions and customs

    The Mayans had very special customs, among them the assignment of the name at
    birth stood out, which was quite an event, since the true name was only known to the
    best friends.
    Each Mayan had four names:
    1.- The first was the normal name that their parents chose or paal kaba. If it was a
    man they put "Ah" before it and if it was a woman, they put "Ix" before the name.
    2.- Later they took their surname or patronymic.

    Gastronomy of the Mayans

    The Mayans had desserts which are currently known as traditional sweets that used fruits of
    the season in the region such as papaya, plum, sapote, coconut among others. It was also very
    common for milpa crops such as yucca, sweet potato, pumpkin or cucumber to be used to
    prepare very tasty sweets with honey that is an essential characteristic of Mayan sweets.

    The classic Mayans did not know metals and used stone tools in most of their
    activities, such as agriculture, hunting, construction and even sacrifices.

    On November 25, 1802, around 150 Garinagu ( plural of Garifuna ) led by Marco Sánchez
    Díaz arrived on the Guatemalan Atlantic coast.
    The first Garinagu were born on the island of San Vicente, off the coast of Venezuela, from the
    mixture of red Caribs with black Africans.

    Customs and traditions of the Garifuna

    The Garifunas, also known as the Black Caribs or the Garinagu, are descendants of the
    Caribbean Indians and the black African slaves who were shipwrecked on the Island of Saint
    Vincent. Today, these communities live in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

    The Garifuna language has survived centuries of persecution and linguistic domination. It
    belongs to the Arawak language family and has a great wealth of úragas, stories that were
    told during evenings or large meetings.

    Economy
    This population has an extensive culture with an agricultural system that they use in
    family production for subsistence.

    Economy
    The Garífunas were dedicated to banana planting and shipping activities. They sailed
    along the coast, carrying out small trade as it was called then.
