To love and protect Belize FISHING FOR A FUTURE Why We Should All Care How Our Food Is Caught For generations, Belizean fishers have been exemplary stewards in the management of national fisheries. Testament to this has been fisher support in national efforts at sustainability such as the establishment of marine protected areas and replenishment zones (and their expansion); seasons and quotas for products like lobster and conch; and most recently, the zoning of national waters to manage access to fishing grounds. Expected and unexpected challenges have naturally impacted the implementation of each of these initiatives but given that a strong, sustainable fishery is the big picture, support for these efforts endures. You see, Belizean fisheries directly benefit more than 15,000 of us every day.

  • “We Are Strong Women”: a Focused Ethnography Of
    “WE ARE STRONG WOMEN”: A FOCUSED ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE REPRODUCTIVE LIVES OF WOMEN IN BELIZE Carrie S. Klima, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2002 Belize is a small country in Central America with a unique heritage. The cultural pluralism found in Belize provides an opportunity to explore the cultures of the Maya, Mestizo and the Caribbean. Women in Belize share this cultural heritage as well as the reproductive health issues common to women throughout the developing world. The experiences of unintended pregnancy, contraceptive use and abortion were explored with women using a feminist ethnographic framework. Key informants, participant observations, secondary data sources and individual interviews provided rich sources of data to examine the impact of culture in Belize upon the reproductive lives of women. Data were collected over a two-year period and analyzed using QSRNudist qualitative data analysis software. Analysis revealed that regardless of age, ethnicity or educational background, women who found themselves pregnant prior to marriage experienced marriage as a fundamental cultural norm in Belize. Adolescent pregnancy often resulted in girls’ expulsion from school and an inability to continue with educational goals. Within marriage, unintended pregnancy was accepted but often resulted in more committed use of contraception. All women had some knowledge and experience with contraception, Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. Carrie S. Klima-University of Connecticut, 2002 although some were more successful than others in planning their families. Couples usually made decisions together regarding when to use contraception, however misinformation regarding safety and efficacy was prevalent. While abortion is illegal, most women had knowledge of abortion practices and some had personal experiences with self induced abortions using traditional healing practices common in Belize.

  • Revisiting the Xunantunich Palace: the 2003 Excavations
    FAMSI © 2005: Jason Yaeger Revisiting the Xunantunich Palace: The 2003 Excavations Research Year: 2003 Culture: Maya Chronology: Late Classic Location: Belize Site: Xunantunich Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Introduction Xunantunich and the Upper Belize River Valley Excavations in the Xunantunich Palace Objectives Methodology Findings I. Initial Construction of Plaza A-III and Associated Structures, including Str. A-11 II. Changing Access to the Upper Building III. Dismantling and Filling the Flanking Rooms of the Lower Building IV. Remodeling the Frontal Terrace and Stairway V. Dismantling and Filling the Central Room of the Lower Building VI. Abandonment Conclusions Acknowledgements List of Figures Sources Cited Abstract The Xunantunich Archaeological Project (1991-1997) excavated significant portions of the palace complex, including the ruler’s residence and adjacent structures. In 2003, the Xunantunich Palace Excavations program continued clearing the frontal terrace and lower building of Str. A-11, the ruler’s residence. This report synthesizes those two sets of data, with a focus on results of the most recent excavations. I use the data to reconstruct the occupation history of the palace and changes in access patterns and use of different structures. This in turn illuminates Xunantunich’s changing political organization. The palace complex’s simple layout and absence of features like a royal throne suggest that it housed an abbreviated elite court, politically dependent on another polity, likely Naranjo. The palace’s location at the cosmologically powerful northern edge of the site associated its residents with revered ancestors and the celestial realm, and the palace’s built environment created a series of architectural spaces that structured interaction between the polity’s residents and its ruling elite.
