Communication Practices from the Family Living Experiences of Afro-descendants People

Abstract

The Creole people have persisted in one way or another in a multi-ethnic context, they have been able to preserve their culture, transmit their language, customs and traditions. They remind us that it has been an arduous duty for their elders. The fact of living in a culturally diverse region has made it difficult for them to transmit the original language, but each of these obstacles has been overcome, because in the midst of the family environment ancestral communication practices have been strengthened. This study describes part of these practices that have lasted within the Creole families from Siuna, Rosita and Bonanza municipalities, in the Autonomous Regions of the North Caribbean Coast in Nicaragua. Traditions, customs, beliefs, symbols and types of communication that these families had and currently have where the stories of elderly men and women belonging to the Afro-descendant people, originated in the Southern Caribbean of Nicaragua and who have remained in the North Caribbean coast of the country for decades, region where they built and enhanced their own family practices, customs and ancestral traditions.
