Француз Гвианасы мен Суринамдағы Алүку тайпасының тарихы

Maroon nation in French Guiana and Suriname

Peace was maintained until 1788 when plantation Clarenbeek was attacked. In 1789, the neighbouring Ndyuka joined forces with the colonists, Assissi, Puumofu and Kormontibo.

In 1891, Czar Alexander III of Russia was asked to delimit the border between French Guiana and Suriname. Both nations promised to respect the rights of the tribes living on the islands, therefore tribes living on the river had to choose their nationality. A meeting was called in Paramaribo with granman Ochi to persuade the Aluku to become Dutch citizens. The Aluku opted for French citizenship on 25 May 1891. The Aluku granman used to reside in Papaichton. In 1992, there were two granman installed, Paul Doudou who was granman in Papaichton until his death in 2014, and Joachim Joseph Adochini who was chosen by election, and not part of maternal lineage. Adochini resides in Maripasoula.

In the late eighteenth century, the Aluku had settlements in the region of Saint Laurent du Maroni, Apatou, and Grand Santi. Abandoned during the Boni Wars, but resettled in 1902. A large part of the Aluku population resides in the urban areas of Saint Laurent du Maroni, Cayenne, Matoury, and Kourou in French Guiana. Many Aluku in Saint Laurent du Maroni live in makeshift "villages" on the outside of town without any infrastructure. The urban population was estimated at about 3,200 people in 2018.

Traditionally, the Aluku people lived by subsistence farming, hunting, gathering, and fishing. Necessities were obtained by trading with neighbouring Maroon and indigenous tribes. Among the Matawai and Saramaka people in Suriname, the missionary activities of the Moravian Church using Maroon missionaries resulted in a large scale conversion to Christianity. In French Guiana, the Jesuits had been active under the Amerindian tribes, however the introduction of European diseases forced the Jesuits to cease their activities in 1763. The absence of missionary activities among the Aluku preserved continuation of Winti as the dominant religion. and can last many months. Many of its speakers are also bilingual in French. The Aluku language is a creole of English (inherited from the British colonies that took over from the Dutch in Suriname) as well as Dutch, a variety of African languages and, more recently, French. It is related and mutual intelligible to the languages spoken by the Pamaka and Ndyuka peoples. The main difference is in the phonological system and lexicon used. Apatou (1833–1908), captain of Apatou. Jacobin Yoma (1966), professional boxer.
