| description | The purpose of this paper is to trace the history of the Marroons Boni also called Aluku and their journey across the Maroni (boundary river between French Guiana and Surinam) to escape Dutch soldiers sent on their trails. Their destiny crossed the Wayana’s path, from Brazil, who were trying to escape slaves' hunters, armed by the Portuguese, and had taken refuge at the sources of Maroni for more than one hundred years. Their crossed history on Marouini, a tributary of the Upper Maroni river, had a very important influence on the future of both populations. A map was elaborated with elders from both communities on the scene of this animated story. The ancient maps stemming from this work allow us to describe the successive migrations of the former villages, and better know this poorly documented part of their history. |
