Indigenous

A number of distinct indigenous peoples call Suriname their home, each of which maintains its own distinct culture and set of practices that have been passed down for generations.

One of the indigenous peoples who lived in Suriname long before European explorers came was a people who called themselves the Arawak. They were a peaceful people that got their food from farming and hunting. This was how they made a living. Through the use of song, dance, and oral storytelling, the Arawak people are able to keep their language and ancient practices alive even in modern times.

The Carib people had a reputation in the past for being hostile toward other indigenous communities due to their proximity to those communities. However, in addition to that, they were also accomplished farmers, fishers, and merchants. The Carib people have managed to keep their language, arts, and crafts alive throughout the centuries, and many of its customs are still observed in modern-day Surinamese society.

The Maroons are the descendants of Africans who were enslaved on Dutch plantations
