At a negotiation recorded on 6 January 1760, an unnamed Ndyuka spokesperson defended Maroon attacks on plantations. The surviving colonial record gives the date but not the speaker’s name. The exchange is a rare trace of Marron political argument in an archive otherwise dominated by colonial officials. It counters portrayals of plantation attacks as mere criminality: they were part of a struggle over freedom, security, and the terms on which peace could be made.
