Manuscripts in the University of Pittsburgh collection by Wendy Griffin

 

Griffin, Wendy “La Historia de los Indigenas de la Zona Nororiental de Honduras “Vol. I Prehistory to 1820, Vol. II. 1800-1992. Unpublished manuscript.

English versión of Volume I  “the History of the Indians of the Northwestern Part of Honduras” was also donated to Hillman library. See Internet resources for google books sites related to these books.

 

Description:  This book on the ethnohistory of the Pech, Tawahka, Tolupan/Jicaque, Miskito and Nahua Indians of Honduras beginning in1,000 BC and also mentions the colonial era Blacks and the English speaking Blacks in colonial period was written in 1992 in support of the Pech bilingual-intercultural education project as a teacher’s reference manual.  For the period before Spanish conquest, a lot of information on Western Honduras which was occupied by Mesoamerican groups including Lencas, Nahuas, and  Mayas. Vol. I emphasizes the conflict between the Pech and the Nahuas and the coming of the Spanish.  The Pech remained free the entire colonial period so strategies of resistance are noted. The situation of the free Indians like the Miskitos, the Tawahkas, the Tol and Jicaques, and the Pech contrasted with Indians under Spanish control such as through encomiendas or missionary controlled towns and the different resistance strategies of both noted.  The English version written in 1994, also includes how and when the Honduran government entered the free Honduran Indian area. Maps contain an error that the differences between Pech and Paya and Tol and Jicaque were not yet clear. This book at the University of Pittsburgh and Smithsonian’s Vine Deloria jr. library and English version at Tulane.

 

Vol. II looks at how export industries moved into the Pech area including gold mining, logging, cattle ranching, coffee growing, rubber, medicinal plants, and spices.  The Pech lost their rainforest about 1960 and this book analyzes how and the effects of this.  Contrast especially for the 19^th century of how the situation was different for the Mesoamerican Indians and the rainforest Indians. Analyzes the coming of the Truxillo Railroad and its leaving. Includes the coming of the Garifunas and some information in both and this previous volume on English speaking Blacks and Blacks who intermarried with the Miskitos. A very detailed study of how the Indian controlled areas of El Paraiso, Olancho, Colon,  and the Mosquitia and Yoro and Atlantida (where the banana companies later went in) became part of Honduras up to 1992, when Honduras’s Indian movement takes off with the founding on CONPAH. This volume is only available in Spanish. (These books are the bibliographic research basis for the latter books like the Los Pech de Honduras and Los Garifunas de Honduras, etc.)

 

The English version  which was written two years after the Spanish version is significantly different. It talks about the techniques of Indian resistance in all the different periods. There is a fairly good description of how different sources of information like linguistics, modern ethnography, archaeology, and historical documents are used to write ethnohistory and somelimitations or problemsof each. Although this book in English and the two volumes in Spanish say the history of the Indians, they were among the first books in Honduras to document the Blacks in the Spanish controlled parts of Honduras from the rebellions in the gold mining areas to the infantería de pardos y mulatos which were used to control the Indians in the mines and in the Indian towns and in the missions.  The books also include the Garifunas, the Black English speakers, and the Miskito Indians, and is still the best study on how the Mosquitia and the Miskito kingdom came to be part of Honduras. The documentation of the Truxillo Railroad and its effects is better than any other currently available in Spanish. This book was the basis of the historical parts of the published books Los Pech de Honduras and Los Garifunas de Honduras.  These books all document how Honduras slowly entered the rainforest of Northeastern Honduras and slwly gained political control of which was not really effective in the Pech area of Olancho until the 1970’s and in the Mosquitia until the 1990’s. For the Pech the results of the destruction of the Central American rainforest are noted.  Although its title says the History of the Indians of Northeastern Honduras up to the Spanish Conquest it includes the prehistory of all of Honduras to try to figure out where the Mesoamerican influence seen in archaeological ruins and in linguistic place names and chief names and in Pech legends in Northeastern Hondurans could have come from and what period it could be from and in the colonial era also tracks movements of Indians caused by the Spanish approaching fromone direction and the Miskito Indians from the other.

www.garifunaweb.com/centralnews.html - There is an article about the publication of my Garifuna book.

 

If you search google  Garifunas OIT Convenio 169  or Garifunas ILO convention 169  my book is one of three books that comes up. In Honduras only Garifunas have books about ILO Convention 169 rights.

Copying this, you can use the other photos for teaching basic editing (edit button, add text, save page button). The English and Spanish descriptions do not have to match... its nice but not necessary.

There are a few for whom Im missing names and details.

I have been able to place photos of the participants of the forum on Thursday into various articles in Spanish and English on the various Honduran ethnic groups. However, some articles are missing, such as one for the Isleños, the Tols and the Tawahkas. For the last two, I put photos in the article on indigenous groups of Central America in Spanish Wikipedia.

 

In addition to print resources Wendy Griffin’s main contribution is on the Internet.  Currently over 250 articles of her articles were on www.marrder.com/htw which was the Internet address of Honduras This Week Online.  This newspaper is no longer available online  and the principal archived source is with the children of the deceased owner who own Honduras this Week Videos which has a website. Some of these articles are still on the Internet on other sites as widely as an Anglican church asking for money for homeless children in la Ceiba, a real estate company in the Bay Islands (article on Black English speaking churches), a Spanish language forum(article on vos in Honduras), etc. A few times her articles were cited by Wikipedia such as an article on the Los Horcones Massacre.

 

Wendy Griffin’s articles online relative to the topics in the Diaspora Africana bookby Dr. Dario Euraque

 

 

Dia de lempira s the Day of Lencan Pride  archive.is/ugbw

(this article mentions the problem of  Garifuna and Black Bay Islanders being required to elect la India bonita on Dia de Lempira and how they have reacted to intercultural education and in Garifuna schools now elect la niña Garifuna who marches in the 15 September parade with Señorita independencia. They no longer elect  India Bonita in Garifuna schools thanks to intercultural education). This article was quoted and commented on by the writer of the blog Honduran culture and Politics.

 

www.angelfire.com/cas/mas/sabas/w003.htm/  This is my Honduras this Week article on Sabas Whittaker on the occasion of the publication of “Africans in the Americas”.

 

English speaking churches have long history in Honduras.  This and the article above were originally published in Honduras This Week online, which since May 2013 is no longer on the Internet. This article is now found on www.honduraspropertylocator.com/english_speaking  and also at

.s1144101627.onlinehome.us./en/…engchurchhist

 

This article on English speaking Black churches has appeared on various websites over the years, and also was included in Artlie Brooks 2012 “Black Chest” Editorial Guardabarranco: Tegucigalpa,which is the first book about the Bay islands and black English speakers by a Black Bay Islander. However, he did not cite the source of the article. It was originally a two article series which developed out of research I did together with Glenn Chambers when he was on the North Coast studying North Coast English speakers.

 

Griffin, Wendy “What punta means”  on Stanford.edu/group/arts from one of my Honduras this Week articles on punta.

 

There is also an article about spirits lurk on road to Flower Bay (Roatan, bay Islands) that is one of my Honduras this Week articles about Bay Islanders, their culture, and coconut tree disease.

 

To find my articles  on the Internet I usually google Wendy Griffin Honduras, but for this article it is necessary to google Black English speaking churches Honduras, since they took me name off of it on the Honduras property locator website.

Honduras Weekly.com --Since February 2013 I have been writing for Honduras Weekly.com.   This includes an in-depth detailed analysis of the troubled 2013 Election in Honduras, and the major Garifuna, Chorti, Lenca, Black Bay Islanders, and Miskito conflicts with the government including drug issues that affected this troubled election. 10 of these articles are linked to the Garífuna in Peril website. Also includes conflicts related to bilingual intercultural education, medicinal plants, the new technologies and the Indians and Garifuna Project, and craft projects like the donation to the University of Washington’s Burke Museum. Older articles are archived under the heading, like cultural or national, etc.  

 

Desde febrero 2013 trabajo para el periódico HondurasWeekly.com en forma voluntaria. Muchos de los artículos que yo he escrito no han sidos publicados todavía incluyendo series de artículos sobre los indígenas de la zona noroccidental, la zona chorti en diferentes periodos, los Lencas de Santa Barbara,y los indígenas que construyeron las Ciudad Blanca. Estos artículos hacen mucho análisis de toponimios en Nahua y su significado. El libro sobre artesanías hondureños también tiene una sección extensa sobre los Nahuas de Honduras. Unas de las danzas descritas por David Flores en la Evolucion Historica de la Danza Folklorica al final del análisis tenía que ver con los Nahuas. Tambien hay una serie de 5 articulos publicados y unos no publicados relacionados con la película Garifuna en Peligro que tiene como un tema la perdida del idioma tradicional de los Garifunas. Tambien hay un articulo sobre Educacion Intercultural Pech y otro sobre Juana Hernandez Torres la cacica de Moradel y la co-autora de varios libros de lingüista y cultura Pech conmigo y con sus familiares. Tambien hay unos artículos sobre la nueva exhibición del Smithsonian sobre la Ceramica Centroamericana pre-hispanica, sobre plantas medicinales y relaciones interétnicas, poetas Garifunas, y afro-hondureñoes en los medios de comunicación.

Has published some of my articles especially about Garifunas.

 

 

Her work also appears on www.sidwalkmystic.com on how to visit Honduran ethnic groups and on www.roatanet.com/ciudadblanca  about the Ciudad Blanca video and research about the Nahua Indians in Honduras who may have built it. This website has been up since 2000, together with photos of the archaeology and Wendy Griffin’s CV, so the fact that NBC News said that anthropologists thought there could be no civilization in the rainforest or that no one had seen it or that no one know who built it in 2013 right before the SALALM conference, is somewhat odd.  The video about the Ciudad blanca is available on youtube.com in English and in Spanish.  Other websites including www.garinet.com, latinalista.com, and elaguilanews.com and atlantablackstar.com also sometimes  pick up her articles on events in the Garifuna region.   

 

Internet para Hondureños Project at www.historiahondurasindigena.blogspot.com is by Wendy Griffin although it has not been as active as she wanted it to be.

 

New Publications of Wendy Griffin’s work Not in the University of Pittsburgh

 

Adalid Martinez (2012) La Antropología Alimenticia, un libro de texto para un curso del mismo nombre de la UPN, de la carrera SAN (Seguridad Alimentancia e Nutrición). Wendy Griffin’s research on Miskito and Bay Islander foods appear here under her name. As Adalid Martinez validated her research on Pech food, the study of Pech food here is almost Word for Word Wendy Griffin’s study of Pech food in Los Pech de Honduras. This book also contains Virgilio Lopez’s study of Garifuna food and Adalid Martinez’s early studies of Lenca and Maya-Chorti food, so this makes this one of the most complete studies of Afro-Honduran foods prior to the article The African origins of Afro-Honduran foods.

 

Pre-2012 Manuscripts Not in the University of Pittsbugh

 

Wendy Griffin (1995), The Past, Present and Future of Honduran English Speakers. (El Pasado, Presente y futuro de los Hablantes de Ingles de Honduras). Articulo inédito.  Varios investigadores internacionales lo han citado en sus libros sobre los Negros y blancos de habla inglesa en Honduras.  In the possesion of the author and available in scanned digital form.

 

“Plantas Medicinales de la Costa Norte” Con las plantas medicinales incluidas en el libro Los Garifunas de Honduras, yo los combiné con los dibujos de las plantas medicinales del libro de Paul House et al. Las Plantas medicinales Comunes de Honduras y las recetas de los Ladinos para estas plantas. Yo di copias de este material “Plantas Medicinales de la Costa Norte” a los representantes Garifunas de educación bilingüe, al Comité de Emergencia Garifuna, y a la familia de Yaya. Nunca logré interesar los representantes de educación bilingüe en el tema de las plantas medicinales. El Comité de Emergencia Garífuna se interesó algo e hicimos un seminario de plantas medicinales en Trujillo, ellos hicieron otro en Iriona, comenzaron un proyecto de sembrar unas plantas medicinales y donaron copia de este material a San José de la Punta donde tenían en proyecto de sembrar plantas medicinales. Miembros de CEGAH han asistido a Congresos internacionales sobre el tema de plantas medicinales.   Ya que Yaya ya no puede encontrar la copia suya, yo traje de regreso este material a Honduras para sacar fotocopias y di copia a ella,y  a la Escuela Socorro Sorrel.    Balbina Chimilio, la sobrina de Yaya, tiene la copia del Comité de Emergencia Garifuna de Honduras.

Fue escrito en 2012 y hay un archivo de fotos de artesanias Pech que lo acompaña. Se ha dado copia en papel a Juana Carolina Hernandez Torres, una artesana Pech en Moradel, Trujillo y al Museo de San Pedro Sul y a la biblioteca Vine Deloria del Smithsonian.  También se ha mandado versiones electrónicas a varias instituciones e investigadores, incluyendo el IHAH y el Museo Burke de la Universidad de Washington y el Museo Peabody de Harvard.  Este folleto incluye mucha información de la tecnología rural por ejemplo como hacer rapadura, como se procesaba café y arroz antes, etc. y también por que considerando la información de las ceremonias, casas, y artesanías Pech en este material y el libro Los Pech de Honduras, creemos que la Ciudad Blanca no fue construida por los Pech, sino por los enemigos mesoamericanos de los Pech.  Se incluye aquí unos Mitos Ladinos sobre la Ciudad Blanca que no son iguales que los de la Kao Kamasa (Casa Blanca) de los Pech.  Falta poco para terminarlo. El plan es de sacar diferentes versión de este material, una versión adecuado para niños de la etnia, y otro para investigadores y visitantes al museo. También miro la historia de ciertas artesanías incluyendo la alfararía y los manos y metates y cayucos cuando son adoptados por diferentes etnias por ejemplo las diferencias entre Honduras occidental y Honduras oriental y cuando son abandonados.    Located in the Vine Deloria Jr. Library of the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian as a paper copy with photos.
