Santigron is a Maroon village in Lelydorp, Suriname. The village of Santigron is along the Saramacca River not far from Paramaribo. It is one of Suriname's Maroon villages, where descendants of 18th Century run-away slaves live. Unlike in Brazil or Jamaica, some 20,000 Maroons are still living in Suriname 's rainforest and retain many aspects of their traditional Afro-American culture. The village was founded by Jajasie Adoemakeë in the middle of the 19th century. Adoemakeë started working at a nearby wood plantation, and claimed to received ownership after the plantation owner died in 1861, however the deed was lost.

  • Santigron is een dorp aan de Saramaccarivier in Wanica, Suriname. Santigron is Surinaams voor zorg en hoop. In de dorp wonen marrons. Het heeft rond de 500 inwoners. Het werd in het midden van de 19e eeuw gesticht door Jajasie Adoemakeë. Naar diens zeggen had hij de nabijgelegen houtplantage gekregen nadat de plantage-eigenaar in 1861 stierf. De akte hiervan zou verloren zijn gegaan. In de tweede helft van de jaren 2010 werd in onder meer Santigron een pilotproject gestart om de teelt van rijst in het gebied te verbeteren. De methode werd samen met de Stichting Ecosysteem 2000 ontwikkeld. (nl)

Adoemakeë started working at a nearby wood plantation, and claimed to received ownership after the plantation owner died in 1861, however the deed was lost. The village has a mixed population of the Ndyuka, Saramaka, and Matawai tribes. In the late 19th century, the village was a stronghold of the Gaan Gadu (Great God) religion which rapidly spread to the creole and maroon communities. (en)
