The People of Suriname

Mother and children, Bigiston

An Amerindian woman with her children, of mixed Maroon parentage, in the village of Bigiston on the west bank of the Marowijne River (Maroni River). It used to be an Indian village called Temeri, with a mixed Arowak and Maroon population; during the civil war in the 1980s most Maroons fled across the river to French Guiana.
