Still Life
Photograph by Susie Post Rust

Serene isolation surrounds a Garífuna woman and child in the quiet village of Plaplaya on the Mosquito Coast of Honduras. Many Garífuna people still live subsistence lifestyles in such villages, sustained by fish from the sea and foods grown ashore. Garífuna leaders in Honduras have been fighting to retain ownership of traditional Garífuna land rather than let it fall to developers hungry for prime coastal real estate.
