Yes, it's a very interesting history, Ken. They are descendents of
British slaves. In the Moskito language the word for window is
window. Most of the rest of the words are very Mayan with lots of
clicking and x's and ch's, and then they say "window" or "door" and
they have children named "Brian Wilson". It's weird!
