[History] The Kwinti Tribe 1743-1763 |
 | | The Kwinti and Matawai at first had numerous fights and although they agreed to cooperate the Matawai chief Musinga changed his mind and obeyed the treaty obligations and turned in Kwintis who had attacked plantations. |
| | In 1779 Indians began fighting with the Kwinti who had set up villages on their territory and thus new patrols were sent to the the area. |
| | The Dutch recognized the Kwinti as free African-Surinamese in 1887. |
