Junkanu and Habinaha Wanaragua are mutually exclusive. Junkanu is Ghanian from the early 1700's between 1707/8 to 1724/25 celebrating battle victories of Chief Kanu of the Ahkan over the Dutch and danced with warrior mask and weapons including a bull horned character. The Habinaha Wanaragua is Garinagu from the last war with the British I 1795 to 1797. It is warriors dressed in hinaru or women's face and attire celebrating the oral history of using deception to draw British patrols into a village and ambush. The current use of a white face mockery dance in Belize is neither Junkanu nor Habinaha Wanaragua and the influence comes from the time of slavery in North Carolina. This dance undermines the Garinagu who were never slaves and never mocked the British...they killed them in battle.
