ABSTRACT
Since the emergence of the Ndyuka Maroon societies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the hinterland of Suriname, there have been several migration flows. Their first migration was from the Mama Ndyuka creek to the lower Tapanahony, which became the new residential area. Through the years, other factors led to their departure from this area: better educational opportunities, better living conditions, family reunification, employment and forced migration.
