Named for a Catholic bishop who drowned nearby in 1923, Hopkins was first settled in
1942 after a hurricane levelled its predecessor, Newtown, just to the north. The Garifuna
here, whose homes these days tend to be secure concrete structures rather than traditional
wood-and-thatch houses, lived from small-scale farming, fishing with baited handlines, or
paddling dugout canoes to pull up fish traps. They remain proud of their culture- most
speak Garifuna as a first language - and
Garifuna Settlement Day
on November 19 is
celebrated enthusiastically with singing, dancing and the beating of drums.
