HISTORY
The Maroons were the enslaved people that, that fought themselves free from the plantations during the colonial era, and founded various communities in alongside the rivers in the inlands of Suriname. That is where they developed their own unique (sub-) cultures, rituals, norms and values.
PANGI
The pangi is a long, rectangular cloth that women from the Marron community wrap around their waists to above their navels. But the pangi is more than just an object.
IMAGE LIBRARY
A comprehensive online gallery was launched online to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Maroon community.
