When I was growing up being a Maroon was never something I advertised. It wasn’t something be celebrated because everyone though we were just poor, country bunking, bush ppl😆. But we fell for that narrative because we didn’t know our history and understood the strength of our people, nor did we know the contribution we made to the freedom of the entire diaspora. Now that I’m an adult and have learned about my people I couldn’t be more proud to have maroon blood running through my veins. I hope all the Maroons will unite and once again show the colonizers, even if they are wearing black faces today (sell out puppet government) that we are a force to be reckoned with. We did before, and united we WILL do it again. 🇯🇲
Education ... come through Black King ! Keep up the good and much needed work 🙏🏾.Much respect to every Maroon home and abroad, known and unknown, conscious and unconscious 🇯🇲
These Jamaican Maroons intermarried with the Arawak people, and established distinct independent communities in the mountainous interior of Jamaica. They survived by subsistence farming and periodic raids of plantations. Over time, the Maroons came to control large areas of the Jamaican interior.[27]
I went to Accompong a few years ago. Lots of history. My husband bought a couple of the drums made of goat skin. Beautiful land however, they need better roads. I wish him all the best.
This man does not convince me he has a seat at the table. Very honestly he sounds like an excited student guild president versus the leader of a people. Where is the strength and credibility of the people who will serve with him, his government? What resources does he have in place to extract value from the plants he's mentioned? How wants to make the Maroons great again by focusing on agrarian and cottage industries? In 2021? How will you leverage your years in finance to acquire funding for your people to excel? Stupid people bout him look good like that can feed his village. You dont need protectionism as much as you need collaboration.
MI WA GO LIVE A ACCOMPONG!! ONLY THREE PEOPLE GET KILLED THERE IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS!! WOW, CHIEF CURRY PLEASE HAVE A LIKKLE ONE BEDROOM READY FI MI, AN SOME ROAST PORK AND ROAST BREADFRUIT WID ACKEE😂🤣

Spanish give them that name because of freedom they are from African decent, God didn't give that name but as you know many ppl give themselves names to separate from other culture, lifestyle etc
There are many names given to many ppl, things, animal and places that God did not name. However it is necessary to be able to differentiate hence forth the given names ie - fully dunce: a set of ppl who are illiterate and are determined to remain that way. Ie - caucasian: white Did God make those names for ppl? No.
Yes my brother, you are on the right path. Eco tourism is one of the great way to make financial gains for the community without disturbing the land. Many of our ancestors are buried on the land and they should not be disturbed. As you rightly said, this treaty of granting the land extended forever and ever, so that decendants can access. This land can not be sold, this land can not be leased. The land from the original treaty was for the people to plant food to feed themselves and to live. This land is not for commercial gains where investors can come in and buy it out.please do not take any money from the government where they can call in the loans. Be diligent because the crows are circling , just waiting for you to look weak and then pounce on you. It would not be far fetched to also look to see what spain might owe to the Maroons.
You are not indigenous you talk about modern let us be modern DNA let us see how much arawak is in you African are not a side people we are main force and founders with all the faults and pass historical achievement and mistake
Whilst you've made one valid point about them not being "indigenous" . He is right in claiming sovereignty based on the treaty signed. Sovereignty denotes "supreme power or authority" which alludes to that which is enshrined in the treaty. You all need to stop this crab inna barrel mentality wid unno badmind self!
@@prestonmatthews725 badmind??? That treaty that was signed for “supreme power or authority” was between the maroons and the British during colonial times.

Can somebody explain to me what does the word maroon means because God did not make maroon as a nation and maroon does not lead back to Africa Israel

God never made any words especially in the English language.
Look in the dictionary and you will see the meaning of maroon.
Maroons were from Africa, then they had children in the foreign land where the enslaved brought.
What is so hard to understand?
You are not indigenous you talk about modern let us be modern DNA let us see how much arawak is in you African are not a side people we are main force and founders with all the faults and pass historical achievement and mistake
I just at cinn roll
He ain’t shit!
Is this a maroon chief haircut ?
What is a marooon chief haircut?
La Lewis paramount chief of staff . king of the maroons.
Indigenous peoples don't wear expensive clothes and live in expensive houses also drive expensive cars. This man is doesn't look like one.
Wauh next imposter in the making forsaking the teachings of their ancestors... Hair style alone proves it....
Hop off his back. Whst do you know about Jamaica, him or the Maroons.
So indigenous people can’t have money?
Indigenous in history. Dont watch the clothes watch the DNA
Indigenous??? Sovereign????
You are neither indigenous to Jamaica nor a sovereign state within Jamaica.

@@prestonmatthews725 Thank you for correcting him, feisty. In addition, the Maroons were a mix of Africans and indigenous people.
