📅 4 Mei 1772 📍 Suriname

A colonial officer reported that the Aluku stronghold at Buku was protected by marshland and a concealed path. The fort’s location and defenses helped Maroon communities withstand VOC-style colonial expeditions and preserve an autonomous base. Colonial sources describe the site as an obstacle; for Aluku people it was a defended home.
