		Chinese logging companies' operations in Saramaka territory are currently damaging the environment of the Saramaka Maroon people and limiting their access to food and clean water.
		According to the Saramaka, the operations of NV Tacoba and Jin Lin Wood Industries are currently leading to further deforestation, increased water pollution, destruction of subsistence farms, and restriction of community access to hunting, fishing, and farming areas.
		The Saramaka are currently mapping their occupation and use of their territory and resources in order to define their boundaries.

		The customary norms of the Saramaka tribe should not be binding in fixing the amount of compensation to be granted to the victims' next of kin, whose family relationship must be determined by reference to the American Convention and the applicable principles of international law.
		Suriname objects to the Commission's request to compensate the Saramaka tribe for moral damages because this claim was not presented during the proceedings on the merits.
		However, the situation in which the Saramakas find themselves is due in great measure to the fact that the State does not provide sufficient registry offices in the region; consequently, it is unable to issue documentation to all its inhabitants on the basis of the data contained therein.

		Nevertheless, it seems remarkable that the Saramaka’s responses are interpolated between the clauses of the treaty rather than, e.g., summarizing them at the end of the text.
		Willie (or Wíi) was a Saramaka, who lived among the Ndyuka at the time when peace was made with the latter (in 1760) and who suggested the Saramaka make a similar peace with the colonial government.

		Saramaka folktales (kontu) are closely associated with funeral celebrations.
		The immediate goal of every Saramaka funeral (which serves ultimately to usher a recently deceased member of the community into the world of the ancestors) is 'to bury the deceased with celebration pizii.
		Amid the hectic weeks of drumming, dancing, singing, feasting, and complex rituals that contribute to these festivities, the telling of folktales--which takes place during the nights)--constitutes a special moment for people of all ages.

		Re your statement about the decision whether the Saramaka tribe should be given compensation or not, I think you might have misunderstood the point that was being made.
		The same goes for compensating the Saramaka nation, I am not familiar with the legal method used to convert/express such suffering in a monetary equivalent.
		If the award to the Saramaka nation does not come through, or is delayed, I might be accused of having provided the court with the information on the basis of which this decision was taken.

		Second, CI believed the Saramakas to be the most traditional of the six Maroon societies, so that their traditional ethnomedical knowledge might be more extensive than that of other Maroons.
		Since it was locally recognized that the ICBG and the Forest People's Fund came to Saramaka territory because of the wisdom of local healers, the presence of the ICBG project and, in particular, the funds made available through the FPF, appear to have boosted the prestige of healers within the community.
		Saramakas at all levels were quick to appreciate the immediate, here-and-now benefits of CI's work in their territory, although the rank-and-file Saramakas did not understand the specific purpose of the project.

		In this innovative work, Richard and Sally Price explore the fully adult world of Saramaka "folktale-land," where animals speak, the social order is inverted, customs have been only partially worked out, and the weak and clever triumph over the strong and arrogant.
		Joining the Saramaka of the Suriname rain forest for two tale-telling wakes, we witness mischievous Anasi the spider matching wits with lecherous devils, the scrawny little kid rescuing his nubile sisters in distress, and the bitchy white princess being tamed by the one-sided boy.
		As seas dry up, books speak out loud, and elephants assume human form, we are present at a whole sequence of world-shaping happenings such as the invention of sex, the discovery of drums, and the arrival of death among humans.

		Three hundred years after escaping the rule of the Dutch and English, the Saramaka maroons are still living in the forest and are fighting the Surinam government over deforestation.
		About 20,000 Saramaka Maroons live in 61 villages in Surinam and the government is giving way to Chinese logging companies and other foreign mining companies who use the countries valuable natural resources, even if it mens invading the habitat of the maroons.
		According to Anthropologist Dr. Richard Price, a leading academic expert on the Saramaka "Destruction of the Saramakas forest would mean and end to the Saramaka Culture which is widely regarded as the most creative and vibrant in the entire African Diaspora".

		The Djuka and Saramaka are the largest tribes, with estimated populations of 15,000 to 20,000 each.
		Since the colonial government signed treaties with the Djuka, Saramaka, and Matawai [an offshoot of the Saramaka] in the mid-eighteenth century, and placed the Aluku, Paramaka, and Kwinti in "protectorate" relationships under these treaty tribes during the nineteenth century, a loose framework of indirect rule has obtained.
		General ethnographic research among the Saramaka was conducted by Richard and Sally Price in 1966, 1967-68, and briefly in 1974 and 1975.

		It was with very great excitement that Sally and I found out two or three years ago that the Herskovitses’ diaries and field notes from their expeditions of the 1920s to the Saramaka were available for the first time at the Schomburg Center for Research on Black Culture in New York.
		Another surprise is that Frances Herskovits, who did not have a degree in anthropology—she was an aspiring novelist—played a much more important role in their field research than their books and articles would suggest.
		He was the professional academically, but when they were in Saramaka territory, she was the one who did much better field research.

		Price contends that the stories, songs, and other oral memories of the Saramaka people are their "historical records," and provide the very form and content of the Saramaka historical vision.
		Rather than serve as mere repositories of historical knowledge, Saramaka folklorists form a critical link in a chain of men and women--past, present and future--who shape(d) Saramaka history through their deeds, actions and story-telling.
		Upon his return to Saramaka in the late-1970s, Price was able to direct specific questions about "First Time" to his informants, thus eschewing (at least partially) their attempts to "mask" historical knowledge.

		The clear-cutting, like clear-cutting the world over, is devastating the land—destroying wildlife habitat, causing erosion that silts the streams, which kills the fish, and gutting a rainforest ecosystem that the Saramaka, through swidden agriculture and hunting and gathering, have maintained as a sustainable resource for 300 years.
		The Saramaka filed formal complaints with the Suriname government of President Ronald Venetiaan in October 1999 and October 2000 and never received a reply.
		Cognizant of their dire situation, the Saramaka presented a detailed map of their territory (surveyed by GPS) to the government in October 2002, requesting that they be recognized as the legal and rightful owners of this land.

		Richard Price, in examining the early history of the Saramaka maroons of Suriname with his 1983 work First-Time: The Historical Vision of an Afro-American People, is fortunately able to find the mean between these extremes.
		However, while he uses the Saramaka versions of events as a framework, Price is always sure to corroborate these accounts with "documentary" or "archival" evidence, and when he is unable to do so, he candidly alerts the reader.
		He often researches the most subtle details of Saramaka stories in order to provide the reader with a fuller story.

		In the 1960s, many of them were forced off their original lands by a giant hydro-electric dam and reservoir, constructed to supply power to Suralco - a wholly-owned subsidiary of US-based ALCOA - for smelting bauxite into alumina and aluminium.
		During 1995, the Organisation of American States was invited in by the Suriname Government to try to broker a tri-partite agreement between the government, the community of Nieuw Koffiekamp and the mining companies.
		However, the negotiations were inconclusive, a sticking point being the refusal by the government and the companies to treat the Saramaka as legitimate landowners, in line with the 1992 Peace Accord, as the OAS had suggested.
