The First People of Suriname 

Don't forget human rights.

It IS their country. GIVE IT BAD YOU GREEDY BASTARDS. FK Bouterse refused to sign papers that would give the First People their rightful place in this country.

Akua Albi Are you a Ghanaian?

Akua Albi I'm asking because of your name Akua.

Now Suriname is the ONLY country in the world where indigenous rights are still not protected. VERY SAD.

read how 50000 amerindians was killed in canada.

they are speaking sranangtongo but thats not a native surinam language its the second most spoken language in suriname (after dutch)

They speak Sranan Tongo. Please show some respect for our language. 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)

Eljahyan DUTCH is the language of Suriname.

Sranan Tongo, it’s creole language of Suriname and Dutch.

No. It 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.

Matt Anderson They all speak the Suriname Patois in this video. The language mix, like the creole in Jamaica, Trinidad, of English, Spanish and Dutch within the frame/Structure of the African languages spoke. It is the national language.

All true, but the language they speak in the film is Sranan Tongo. On Sranan Tongo: No. It 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.

They are speaking Sranang Tongo

They are speaking surinamese

Javanese

+Rising Edge111 The indigenous people of Surinam all have their own native languages, but in this film they are speaking Sranang tongo/Surinam language, which is an English Creole, created by African slaves, who were brought to Surinam, when Surinam was an English colony. (Later Surinam became a Dutch colony; England and Holland swapped it for New York). Every ethnic group in Surinam has their own language, but they all speak Sranang tongo and Dutch to communicate with each other.

No.

Yes. It's Sranan Tongo.

***** Bedankt voor de uitleg :)

Emak1002 Graag gedaan.

Great history in Haití, my family is from Mexico and even there the Native and African people intermixed not only in blood but culture and language and fought alongside each other against tyranny.

But the world map has been distorted by invaders so Yall should need to know yr origins and names that was before the purpose of georaphical altering to confuse darker ppl of the world

Rosalinda Wijks I am too! My mother is from Suriname! Sobo lobi!

All Haitians are indigenous to Haiti and the may not have any African descent research how much water, food and medicine is necessary for travel from any African country to Barbados. You will realize two things: ONE the PICTURES OF SLAVE SHIPS could never be full to the brim with Africans they would die from lack of fresh water and food, you can not drink salt water. TWO your people were always there any Africans that came to Haiti were Kings, Queens and Warriors, or people of great skill like a healer or carpenter, when Haitians were making buildings, the slave master would not teach you, your people already know carpentry, healing, agriculture, and so much more... So 99.9% of all Haitians are indigenous. The Europeans found your people their came in with church missionaries or made TRADE AGREEMENTS with your people then later started to enslave you and changed the history books. PLEASE GO to your Haitian archives and start to look stuff up your self because the Europeans renamed all the Islands of the Caribbean just like they renamed AFRICA AFRICA was name after the roman general SCIPIO AFICANUS because he won one battle and he name the content after himself. scipio AFRICAnus When Europeans give objects, land, people their names it is a form of ownership. GO to you Haitian archives and look at the records and you will notice that they hide your history the same way banker hides money, they changed names from Haitian names to European names

Exterminate should be replaced with Genocide. It was terrible Genocide. (I forgot to put " 'Are' in-front of 'All' in my first sentence it was to be a question"). Something is definitely fishy because all the pictures of merchant ships holding slaves have no room for water or food. The DRAWINGS of SHIPS are too small to feed the people on board. The DRAWINGS may be just wrong. Or the many people that are said to have been brought the American continent from the African continent is wrong. Every sailor at sea needs fresh every day or a way of getting it and the sea is salt water.

why are you talking about fresh water on the boat, slaves were being moved from African for more than 200 years... Here are some names of slaves ships:Antelope, La Rochelle, Adelaide, Desire, Guerrero, Jesus of Lubeck, Madre de Deus, La Amistad.. look them up, read about the histiry of Africans (blacks) in the Americas..

quetzalamaru I was looking over old drawings of slave ships and I have trying to compare the numbers of people "human trafficked" or "kidnapped" with the supplies they would have needed for the duration of such a long prolong voyage even if all Slave/Merchant ships docked in the ports of Barbados. I am have a problem based around the duration of a voyage!!! You need Fresh Water, Food and Medicine for a Voyage from Africa to America. People need water every three days. I am look for a credible source or book that could reveal the management of ships in that time period like the general length of the voyage?; how much food and water can a ship hold?; how much supplies does each person on a ship need?; having this would reveal the maximum number of people on a ship? Also did Slave ships leave all year round or where they ground during hurricane (rainy season in the Caribbean)? After I have this data I will Compare it to Archival Records on arrivals, inventory, ships manifest, and other records. I am more inclined to do my own research. That biographies of slaves are personal, accurate, and vitally important, but I am interested in the breath and scope. I am researching migration of populations? I don't know if the Europeans kept any records of displacement of the native populations in the Caribbean which has influence on the populations of the people that were kidnapped to the regions, in the numbers that historians recorded (also including deaths during voyages). Thank you for the reply I hope this clears up my earlier statement.

+Kurenzen Iyaren I read in a book called "Christopher Columbus and the Afrikan Holocaust" by John Henrik Clarke (you can also find the info in "The Destruction of Black Civilizations")in which it mentioned a great portion about the accommodation of the African slaves in the ships. In some ships they would accommodate from 300 to 450 packed like sardines. The more slaves that were on the ship more would eventually die, about 20 to 30% of the slaves would die off. Limited food and water was thrown at them and the slaves had to fight for the limited food. There was even a term (a sort of science) in which they (the Europeans) would manage the slaves food for efficiency so they could not waste that much of it with the slaves. Also within the term they would debate if the slaves should lie in prone position or supine in order to survive the long journey. It also described the insurance on the slaves.....Eventually the strongest slaves would make it to the "Americas"............hope you find the information to quench your thirst on this topic

All lies
