    Originally occupied by one family, and abandoned as a living place for many years, though people from there who had moved to Cane Creek planted some, and picked oranges, mangoes and avocados from the several fruit trees previously planted by Old Willie. Was big jungle for many years. Punta de Aguila now is a large and growing relatively new settlement, after Pedro Macrea, who was born there, and his sons decided to start clearing it in the late 80s, in part to keep Mestizos from taking over. As of 2009 has about 100 inhabitants, nearly all Rama, with only a couple of mixed familes. Many are from Rama Cay. Several native speakers of Rama live there. located between Monkey Point and Cane Creek. About 1 1/2 hrs. to walk quickly in dry weather to Monkey Point, about 45 min. to do so to Cane Creek.
    It is also known as 'Bocal', Spaniards and Kriols have given it that name. Presumably there used to be large top-knotted hawks, or perhaps Harpy Eagles there.

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Only sea fisherman catch this. They fish it around Booby Cay or Frenchman's Cay when the sea is smooth, for example, in September. They use a hook baited with sardines or anchovies, or catch it on a spoon hook. Not commonly seen for consumption in the homes, nor is it seen very often in the market in Bluefields. Some say it makes you sick at certain times of the year. (This is possibly due to ciguatera.)

Se pesca con anzuelo y cebo de sardina o anchoa, o con un anzuelo “cuchara.” No se ve con frecuencia en las casas, ni de venta en el mercado. Algunos dicen que es malo comerlo en ciertos meses.

Pictures/Imagenes:

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Most Rama people don't eat much of it and some won't eat it at all. They like cheese, though rarely eat it because it usually has to be bought. They would like to have milk for coffee, but that would have to be bought and transported without spoiling. Some are lactose-intolerant. However, owning cows has been seen for a number of years as a sign of economic success by a growing number. The Kukra River communities and Aguila as of 2008 have quite a few cows, which are also contributing to land erosion due to cutting and burning the jungle bush to make pastures. Some are also turning to pesticides and herbicides because otherwise it is hard to keep the brush low. The increasing number of free-roaming cows also cause problems by eating food items which people have planted near their houses (e.g., young bananas and household herbs), which then causes arguments. Beef, milk, cheese, coajada bring good money, though. Many still do not like to eat beef.
  • Gramatical:
    Loanword from English 'beef' ( through Miskitu?).
