Joseph Chatoyer, also known as Satuye, was a chief of the Garifuna community in Saint Vincent who led a revolt against British colonial forces on the island.
The Garifuna are an ethnic group of mixed African and Indigenous Carib ancestry. From the 17th century onwards, enslaved Africans and the Carib people intermingled on the Caribbean island of St Vincent and for years resisted capture and enslaved at the hand of European colonial powers. In 1796, the British deported several thousand Garifuna to the island of Roatan, near Honduras, where they eventually migrated throughout central America.
Joseph Chatoyer is considered the first Garifuna hero. Hear his story in this video!
