Ik ben het zo eens met mijn inheemse inwoners van Suriname. Het is niet eerlijk wat ze hun aandoen. Ze waren er het eerst en toch lijken ze geen zeggenschap over Suriname te hebben. Eindelijk kom ik zo'n filmpje tegen. Het is waar wat ze zeggen. Ik hoop dat ik het nog mee mag maken dat ze deze battle winnen. Ik sta in ieder geval aan jullie kant! Soso lobi!!!

Native Indians are the first inhabitants of Surinam. Their rights should be restored completely. They should be in the center of power. I was born in Surinam and belong to the south asian community.

I'm a fourth generation Bahamian- Haitian American on my mother's side and fifth generation African American on my father's side (my 5th great- grandfather was born in Africa, present on 1880 USA Census). Now, when a people are connected to a land it gives those people knowledge not found in any school. They know how to save the land from humanities destructive ways and this is why leaders in their government should listen to the indigenous peoples.

Im half Lokono Arawak (indigenous surinamese). So I see the problems my indigenous side of the family have with multinational companies and malicious asian companies and the illegal immigrants those multinational attract and hire to destroy the beautiful nature and living area of the indigenous people of Surinam. And that all just to benefit of Surinam's natural resources. The Surinamese government should sharpen the immigration law so that illegal immigrants ( mostly asian and Brazilian) can't take over the country. And if the Surinamese government fails to do so i recommend that the indigenous people bundle together and start protecting their territory with violence.

@Mapimaholland Similarly, some people would say to you that the correct spelling is Guiana, not Guyana. The word Guyana and Guayana are likely corruptions of the original. Guiana is the land of fast waters, such as modern Guyana with the tallest waterfall in the world. The Guianas cover a large area, including northern Brazil. Peace.

Some info about Sranan: Dutch is is the official government and education language, put in place by the colonials, but many languages are spoken in Surinam: Javanese, Sarnami Hindi, several Native languages, several Marroon languages. Sranan Tongo is the lingua franca, which originated as a contact language between enslaved West-Africans and the white Dutch colonials. It is a mix between several West-African (mostly Banty) languages, English, Portuguese, Dutch, Native and other languages. It is the mother tongue of the Creoles/Afro-Surinamese, but almost every Surinamese person speaks it as a contact language between different ethnic groups. (I know this because I am Afro-Surinamese myself)

So in our history it shows black native that are a mixed of Carib & African, you take to apples & smash them together & the outcome will be a apple, take a apple & a pear & smash them, then we talking about a new race of people no matter the name change. Mixed with two or all three plain in simple. You cnt deny slaves being brought to Haiti.
