They’re members of an Anabaptist Christian Church. The ancestors of these groups left South Russia in 1873 & settled in Manitoba (Canada), before migrating to Mexico & then British Honduras (Belize) in 1958.

There are 10 colonies in Belize, a population of 12 000 people. The Mennonites of Belize speak Plautdietsch (Low German) in their daily life.

The women wear bonnets and long dresses and men denim overalls and hats. They use horse and buggy for transportation.
