Extractions: Info Suriname Info Malaria Destinations Tourpackages ... Bersaba Suriname Little is known in the outside world about this tropical paradise. Suriname is what the old very tales called this land " El Dorado" which means the place of Gold. In 1998, an area of 6,000 square miles was declared the Central Suriname Nature Reserve. It is the largest protected tropical forest area in the world. Once you have visited Suriname, and enjoyed its diversity of cultures and the magnificent unspoiled stretch of rainforest, you will be amazed. The interior of Suriname is unique and, without question, it is a MUST to visit the Maroon and indigenous, Amerindian communities there. The way of life of these people has by and large remained untouched over the centuries. Since tourism to the villages is still in its infancy, they have not yet been corrupted. The inhabitants are usually as curious about you as you are about them. Become acquainted with the culture and hospitality of this fascinating environment, where the past can still be felt. The fascinating Amazone area will show you the beauty of wild life. In the jungle there are more than eight Westerners, life in the interior is of an unfamiliar purity; one valuing nature and closely different apes, hundreds of colourful tropical birds, and numerous unknown plants and insects. For - knit communities.

http://www.angelfire.com/stars3/amatali/HinduCul.html

Extractions: After ending the slavery labourers from India were brought to Suriname to satisfy the demand for labourers. They came here as contracting labourers for a period of five years. After finishing the contract they might return to India or extend the contract for an other five years, or remain in Suriname. If they remain in Suriname they received an amount of money equal to the cost for their journey back to India, and a piece of land. Most of the Indian labourers choosed to stay in Suriname. They were sent to remoted rural areas in the districts. The money they got by hard working and saving was used to buy additional pieces of land. Later on some of these former contracting labourers settled near and in the capital of the country. After the Second World War they moved more and more to the vicinity of and in the capital. Nowadays descendents of these immigrants are present in almost all sectors in the society. The Hindustani ethnical group in Suriname can be devided into three groups when religion is taken into account namely, Hindus, Muslims, and a small group of Christians. The culture of the Hindustanis is related to these religions. They developed their culture and among themselves the Hindustani language is spoken. This language had its own development and known nowadays as the Sarnami.

Extractions: Like in the other countries of the Americas the Amerindians were already present in Suriname before Columbus discovered America, and they are the indigenous people of the country. The Amerindians in Suriname can be devided into the lowland and upland ones. The lowland Amerindians are the Arowakken and the Caraiben, whilst there are three groups of Amerindians who can be considered as the upland ones namely, the Wajanas, the Trioes and the Akurioes. The upland Amerindians live mainly in the South-Eastern portion of the country. The Akurioes were the last Amerindians in Suriname who had a nomadic life, and nowadays they have settled in one of the Trio's villages. The Wajanas and Trioes have been influenced by the Christian mission from the US since the sixties in the previous century. The coastal Amerindians were Christainized earlier. Compared with other Christian missions the Roman Catholic Church had more respect for their own Amerindian Culture. External influences are observed within the materialistic culture, among others the change in dress, culinary, hunting, building roofs with corrugated steel, whilst the silence in the villages is disturbed by western music.

http://www1.sr.net/~t100956/people_and_culture.htm

Extractions: History Humans first settled in the Southern savannas of Suriname some 10,000 years ago, while Arrawak Indians were the first to settle in Suriname's coastal area around 500 AD. Around 1100 AD, Carib Indians also settled in Suriname. Suriname was first seen by whites at the end of the 15th century, namely by the Spaniards, who were not interested in colonizing the area, however. Alonso de Ojeda, who accompanied Columbus, is generally considered Suriname's 'discoverer,' but it is not certain whether he set foot on land. Domingo de Vera took possession of the area for the Spanish crown only in 1593. Suriname became a colony that changed hands between the Spanish, English and Dutch. Plantations were set up during the next centuries as the main economical activity. The labor force on the plantations consisted of African slaves, many of whom escaped to the interior and fought against the white colonists. These escaped slaves and their descendants have developed a unique culture with many African influences. Slavery was abolished in 1863, and contract laborers from China, India and Indonesia replaced the former slaves. However, the plantations had no future, and Suriname's economy soon acquired another base. Bauxite was discovered in the Marowijne area at the beginning of the 20th century, and soon bauxite mining became the most important economic activity, particularly during World War II. Suriname became an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1954. Full independence was granted in 1975. Now, Suriname is a constitutional democracy seeking its own place in the world.

Extractions: History The English established sugar and tobacco plantations on the west bank of the Suriname River around 1650 and founded the settlement now known as Paramaribo. Two decades later, the Dutch took possession in one of the silliest property deals ever transacted, by swapping New Amsterdam (present-day New York) for the English territory in Suriname. To expand their plantations, the Dutch imported West African slaves. From the mid-18th century, escaped slaves formed Maroon (Bush Negro) settlements in the interior, and retained many African customs. The abolition of slavery led to labor shortages in the early 19th century, and indentured laborers were brought in from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia), India, China, Portugal and Lebanon. Despite limited autonomy, Suriname remained a colony until 1954, when it became a self-governing state; another 20 years passed before it gained independence. A military coup in 1980 brought Desi Bouterse to power. His brutal regime saw that all political opponents were murdered and also carried out a vicious campaign to suppress a rebellion of Bush Negroes. Posing as a Marxist, Bouterse flirted with Cuba (to the alarm of the USA and Brazil) and then with Libya (to the alarm of French Guiana). In 1987 free elections were held and a multiracial government was formed. Although Bouterse no longer holds power, he staged another coup in 1990 and still lingers in the background as the main opposition leader. Despite leftist rhetoric, Ronald Venetiaan's coalition government proved amenable to multinationals, such as Suralco (a subsidiary of Alcoa), which control the country's lucrative bauxite industry. Venetiaan also granted many gold and timber concessions, but ultimately was unable to establish a working majority. In July 1996 Jules Wijdenbosch, from Bouterse's NDP party, was elected and immediately ended Venetiaan's structural adjustment programs.

http://cssvc.travel.compuserve.com/travel/lonely_planet/central_and_south_americ

Extractions: Suriname Culture Suriname's ethnic mix is reflected in the religious allegiances of its people. The most important Christian denominations are Roman Catholic and Moravian Brethren, but many Christian groups also practice traditional African beliefs such as obeah and winti . About 80% of the East Indian population are Hindu. Although Dutch is the official language, the vernacular Sranan (also known as Surinaams), an English-based creole, is widely spoken. Hindi, Javanese, Chinese, Djuka and Saramaccan (both English-based creoles) and various Amerindian languages are also spoken. The development of a strong national arts scene has been hampered by the fact that many of the country's intelligentsia live abroad (mostly in the Netherlands), partly because of greater economic opportunities and partly because of military repression. However, gamelan offers an insight into the cultural life of the Indonesian community; sculpture and carvings express the values of the Amerindian and Bush Negro populations. Suriname's food is an exotic mix of East Indian, Indian, Creole and Chinese cuisines; the cheapest eateries are
