You are aware that this celebration is duplicated in a few other places such as in Jamaica given the shared Garifuna/Kalinago heritage... right? Each island's celebration has it's own very unique creative expression. Each if them being slightly different from the one that is performed by the direct Garifuna community in Belize, yet all still holding and sharing common themes.

The other Junkanoos are not the same as Bahamian Junkanoo. She isn't saying the there aren't other Junkanoos. Bahamian Junkanoo is a distinct art and cultural festival unlike any other.
