Haiti = "Land Of High Mountains".....DR/Santo Domingo Named after a Roman priest "Saint Dominic" The whole land both of these 2 tribes from the lost 12 tribes of Israel are on is called (Hispaniola) A European language Spanish/Latin......The so called Jamaicans/West Indiains are another tribe out of the 12 tribes of israel. God is waking up his people again that he scattered all over the world due to our foreparents disobedience. The bible been about us the whole time and thats why our people dont know anything about it and what romans gave the whole world a fake white version of Christ to worship when the bible tells us he had skin like BURNT BRASS and WHITE WOOLY HAIR.

My biological family comes from Florida. I visited them as a child and learned that they were Marooners, who fought against slavery and oppression with the Seminole Indians. They have their own community, history, farming and culture and speak their own language. I was amazed. Now, I’m proud to come from such a bloodline. Keep teaching, Dr. Akua.✊🏾🤝🏾💯

As a Jamaican of Taino and Maroon heritage, this makes my heart smile❤ Our people fought for and negotiated their autonomy from the British colonizers before slavery ended. They continued to fight with their enslaved brothers and sisters.

But there is negotiation in liberation. Integration, maybe but NOT liberation. Negotiating with the oppressor is the mistake the indians made. We see what happened to them.

I am Cameroonian and that is not where the name comes from! No doubt there were Maroons from all ethnic groups, but the word Cameroon is actually a Portuguese derived word meaning shrimp. They named the country after a river called El Rio dos Camarões (River of Shrimp/Prawns).

Please consider the maroons of Suriname in South America. Nowadays west Africans visit Suriname to see how their culture was 300 plus years ago. These maroons forced the Dutch colonisers to sign a peace treaty on the 10th of octobre 1760. These free people who call themselves fiiemang(freemen) have retained their African culture and names. I am so proud to be one of their descendants. This movie helped me gain more self-awareness. I now know exactly why I behave like this, I do not tolerate oppression and I am consciously self-sufficient in almost everything.

In Haiti, in Port-Au-Prince there was statue of this large fellow with long dreadlocks blowing a large conch shell. He had a machette in his other hand. They called him Negre Marron. Negre Marron or Maroon Black was the very man who inspired and rallied the Haitian People to fight and revolt. Now he wasn't Haitienne but somewhere else AND it wasn't wasn't Jamaica. It was somewhere in the Caribbean. He would blow the Conch Shell to gather the people for revolt and to fight. Mais chere ton pis pour li meme!!

The word maroon and master have the same gematria in over 10 of the English ciphers if you use the gematrinator calculator. But the Kabbalah spin it around and say it mean runaway slave or fool. There is a lot of power in that word which is why they try their best to not let so called black people know their true identity. As black means death, calamity, destruction etc these words begin to manifest as words are power and hold numerical values (energy) We are all maroons by the color of our skin. Check out the color of maroon it comes in many different shades.
