Meeting The African Tribes Who Live in the Amazon ()

Deep in the Amazon rainforest of Suriname, which covers almost the entire country, you will find the Maroon tribes, who have been living there for hundreds of years. Their story is a unique one, having escaped slavery and forming new African tribes and societies in the jungle -- the Saramaccans, the Ndyuka, the Matawai. Some of them maintained their Animist religions from their homelands. On this day, I went with my friend Mr. Mai, who was also the head of the local government, to go and visit these villages up and down the river. You could say I was shocked at what I found. -------- Instagram: tommyelforastero Patreon: www.patreon.com/sabbaticaltommy?fan_landing=true #sabbatical #suriname #maroons
