I CHOOSE ME: Children in the Suriname Amazon - Documentary 

I don’t. I hate it. How about pronouncing it the way the original indigenous people intended it before Dutch rapists and thieves decided to take it.

@@BE-bk1tb Because they could not defend what was supposedly truly theirs (sadly). The Netherlands is one of the countries to point our fingers at, but not the first. But what was the intended pronunciation of the indigenous people?

@@BE-bk1tb I'm sorry, but how would you pronounce it the indigenous way?

@@serendipity8844 maybe you need to educate yourself how did black people come in Suriname ? They where shipped there and forced to do labor for White Dutch people.

*reminder* We should all bare in minds that the Netherlands wasn't Suriname's first colonizer, but it's longest.

Nikki Bogman Good to see you understand. Now, to find a way to help these people...

Today is mr chantoki things will change in are country

Always funny how these first world girls say “traveling and living with the ingenious” it actually means they have been fucked by the locals. And did she really think they destroy the nature for fun? Or that nobody would know that they are poor? 🤦‍♂️

@nikki bogman aka colonization.

How much is it to sponsor someone through school there?

Suriname has better edeucation than in the netherlands.. atleast when i lived there. just saying.

I can say it has good education as i basically LIVE there Edit:not in the Amazon tho

@@user-kg8si7nu1l that's the biggest lie I've ever heard. The Netherlands has one of the best education systems in the world while Suriname is just a joke

useful gyaan the education here isn’t bad it’s just majorly underfunded

Ergenic Stats Yes the Netherlands does spend more on education and the children in the Netherlands do have more advanced stuff: good books, good chairs and tables, more advanced technology etc Buuuuutttttt that does not mean that the level of education in Suriname is bad it’s just that in Suriname there aren’t as much and as advanced tools as there are in the Netherlands and other 1st world countries.

Got the same thing they say it's rude to speak Surinam to your elders.

Jammer om te horen, ik heb precies hetzelfde.. maar ben wel van plan om er vaak heen te gaan

mi lobi you , fawaka bigi boy , heb je een sma versta je dat ?? mikoedoe mi lobi you verry much bigi boy

Than your dutch

no i'm a surinamer

Hoe versta je die mensen, die op javanen lijken, zij spreken portugees ofzo, je hoort af en toe een surinaamse woord zoals scorro.

@@holendrechterzuid-oost4211 ze zijn indianen en jha in suriname verstaan we elkaars talen vaak genoeg

Jethroin Koanting nee, de stads mensen verstaan de indianen niet hoor, ze verstaan de rest wel maar de indianen zijn toch andere volken met hun eigen taal.

Yes, i am from Brazil, we are also a mix of indigenous, europeans and africans, we are neighbours and brothers.

@@leonardofonseca4598 exactly! i definitely support my french guyanese and brazilians brothers and sisters. we are the same ! 💪🏽

Me as a native wish you a good life. Mitakuye oyasin

What do you mean with Indian? There is no one from India.

Indigenous or native american people are named indians too because when Christopher Columbus met them for the first time, he thought he had arrived in India.

@@lulumariano6515 U are so right and it surprising that a lot of people don't know about this even here in North America.

@@imgayasheck595 he didn't mean Indian as in from India. He meant native American who are also sometimes called Indians or Red Indians.

Also Chinese and Jews and many people are a mix of all that. Suriname is a place that shows many cultures can live next to eachother in peace. But let us not forget Suriname has huge economic problems now post colonialism and their is a transgenerational trauma due to slavery.

@@dreamingbig3891 Thank you I that if all goes well , I will take you up on that advice :)

@@dreamingbig3891 it's I think everyone have those days 😅

Even the high school uniform is similar...

They definitely will benefit by importing Venezuelan horses, they can change the way of living in the country side. Hardy and wet tolerant they can survive in that weather.

Their situation is similar of that of the Pemon in Venezuela...

There should be an Interstate that stretches from Belem to Caracas. In America the Interstate system created work when it was built and it paid for itself in commerce and development many many man times over. I wish there were visionaries in South America who brought the countries together.

Venezuelan have suffered of racism and targeted in surname and the other non Spanish speaking countries. As refugees or migrates

Ssame lol

Niva Alex ai mi de to

CA silva so true!!

Dutch murderers

CA silva Now it's globalism.

@@joshi3518 you know yess fuck the ones who trade people as slave but the bright sight they put a lot of culture together and i love all the cultures in suriname i am surinamese myself

Suriinam é rico culturalmente! Eis o lado bom do colonialismo flamengo !

With that money all the guys need money,diesel, gas for the burner,mercury,parts for the crusher and engine and you have to pay the people who bring you diesel and you have to get the gold to the city and they will never give you the best price because they have to make money too.

It’s not that easy in a third world country , we get payed way less for what we deserves but the first comment explains it

Andrew James That much money is not worth as much as you think the worth is much less than 16,000

16k is for fully processed bullion

Suriname people get told their golf is worth less cause of the quality but it's bs... And btw all the places in third world countries get robbed from their gold by us white people we don't pay them anything but ask 30k a kilogram ourselves that should awnser it

You would be very welcome!

I live in belgië Too I’m from Suriname

Que se puede hacer en Suriname? Es peligroso? Hay mucha corrupcion a nivel gubernamental? Saludos.

@@alexbernal4988 Yes

Parts of the country, even parts of the capital have no indoor plumbing or clean water. There is no money to invest in the Amazon. Priorities are different.

These people are happier than all of you.

​@@johnvondaniken6545 The question right now is not the happiness of the people, but their healths. Drink water poisoned is absurdly dangerous! They must choosen if they want stay on their village or to study. No one can make the choosen for them! They must have the opportunity to do whatever they want! That's the point of the video! "I choose me".

she is, that's the real beauty, all natural damn i like this girl.

Selena Gomez Acapella She has a moustache...

stop overacting she is ok..

i agree

Selena Gomez Acapella what county is that

Me too love and respect Suriname.. I am from India 🇮🇳

Wong djowo

The problem is education

Bert Grol thank you❤

*Land

Just my same thoughts.

Very well said! Thank you!

Preach that to baby's having baby's in North America

How fucking stupid can u be

I've lived there for a long time, and thought the same as you: how stupid can people be? But later on I came to realize that poverty really pushes people in a position where it can be hard to resist the gold. I have many friends who tried and tried to get a education, but failed because nobody could sponsor them. And from that place, it's hard to get a job. Judging these people isnt the way, supporting them in finding another way is.

@@nikkibogman4859 Yes ok, but the ppl they show us have all they need. Their real treasure is the river with fish. REally, they dont need that gold in the first place

@@SuperGeert123 The surinamese government sells their land to gold mining companies. You may not understand but native surinamese people were not recognised as citizens by law and did not legally own property. The people who live there do not have any control over this.

@@unrelatedpopcornfire9823 These natives were self sufficient , and now lost their beautiful way of life. Of course I understand they got fooled, and I cant blame them for that

its my country its a verry nice place, but this video's is make in a verry farr part of the country, this is in the Western ,

Hey :) Was het gemakkelijk voor jij om Afrikaans te begrijpen ? Ik ben van Belgie (franstalige deel) maar ik lere het nederlands en ik vraag me af het is waar dat afrikaans gemakkelijk te begrijpen is waneer je nederlands kan spreken (sorry voor de fouten :) )

Omg i wanna go to suriname. Im from south afrika live in amerika. I feel like afrikaans and suriname sound more alike then dutch and afrikaans

Bellatrix ofWinterfell nope, suriname is close to afrikaans then dutch. I can read dutch90% and belguim 30%. But afrikaans is easy .

@@findingme..7885 u dumbass surinam aka sranantongo is not dutch. The white language they call afrikaans in s africa is plain old dutch. And they also speak dutch in surinam.

Wth goes from surinam to s africa?

You mean dutch.

I'm from south africa . Ons praat amper die selfde taal maar bietjie anders . We call our language Afrikaans . Its almost like Dutch

@randy charles kill, ik woon in Suriname. Tuurlijk zeggen we nederlands. Maar als je in engels typt moet je ook gewoon in engels doorgaan.

Eddy De Hart thank you❤

Panning for gold seems to beg for an autonomous vehicle and AI. I have never done it but it looks like repetitive work that is perfect for a robot.

I worked near Pierre kondre in the years and it was better than I can see on the very nice made docu. And last year i was Surinam on vacation . I cried every day everywhere iwent. After 30 years I could not regonized the place I lived the under the people chose as President is felling the country and the people most of them are not using the fertile soil to grow vegetable . It is a pity . Wen I lived there I never went to the marked I had 8 sorts of vegetables growing and a lot of fruits we went only for fish meet milk and bread to the shops . But now nearly no one in the city is using thre living space near the house to plant vegetable . Some streets , but when it rains all of them are like rivers the water is not flowing. thanks to the president a murder who is killing the country and keeping most of the people poor .
