The Saamaka and Dutch colonial government sign a treaty

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 19 September 1762 📍 Suriname

The agreement formalized peace between the Saamaka and the colonial state. As with the Ndyuka agreement, the treaty followed Maroon resistance and was negotiated by political actors who had secured freedom from slavery. Its terms and later implementation should be read as contested, not as a gift from the colonial government.
