Expressing the sense that there should be established a "National Garifuna Immigrant Heritage Month" in April to celebrate the great contributions of Americans of Garifuna immigrant heritage in the United States who have enriched the history of the Nation.

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that a National Garifuna Immigrant Heritage Month should be established in April. The primary goal is to celebrate the significant contributions of Americans of Garifuna immigrant heritage to the history and culture of the United States. This month would provide an opportunity to recognize their unique background as Central American Black Indigenous immigrants. The Garifuna people, descendants of West and Central Africans who intermarried with Indigenous Caribs and Arawaks, arrived in Central America in 1797. Their language, dance, and music are recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Establishing this heritage month aims to highlight their rich cultural traditions and raise awareness about their ongoing fight for land rights and against injustices faced by Black and Indigenous populations globally. The resolution encourages the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
