HOW MAROONS ARE TREATED IN JAMAICA IN 2020| ACCOMPONG

Come on the journey with me to Accompong Town, a historical Maroon village located in the hills of St. Elizabeth Parish on the island of Jamaica. It is located in Cockpit Country, where Jamaican Maroons and indigenous Taíno established a fortified stronghold in the hilly terrain in the 17th century. They defended it and maintained independence from the Spanish and then later against British forces, after the colony changed hands.
The people named their community Accompong after an early African Maroon leader. After years of raiding and warfare, they established their autonomy with certain rights for limited self-government by a peace treaty with the British in 1738. Since independence in 1962, the government of Jamaica has continued to recognize the indigenous rights of the Jamaican Maroons in this area.
Let's Chat with Richard Currie, a candidate for the upcoming elections for the Sovereign State of Accompong!

I am Panamanian. As a person of some Jamaican Descent, I was told by my elders on my mom side, its the Maroons and my Fathers side, The Arawaks of Jamaica. And my Panananian side are Indigenous. In Panama, don't forget King Bayano, leader of the cimarrones(rebel escaped slaved) who fought the Spaniards in late 1600s. There is a reason why Panama have a river called the Bayano River.

I am a Vincentian national...my grandmother was a Maroon. Happy to hear the Jamaican history of the Maroon. I grew up listening to the stories she will tell me about the culture...Blessings

[@yoshi_godsgift]

This is very informative. They deserve to have their Maroon Identification.

[@georgerussell6301]

The Government of Jamaica are to recognize the Maroon people by honoring their treaty by working with them to improve themselves, and community.

[@raylynch8743]

I am a costarican, my grandparents were jamaicans, black costaricans are mostly jamaican descendants; your video is very informative and has brought me to the realization that I may be of the maroon lineage since my mother told me once that my great grandmother Carolina Henry was a maroon. I'm proud to know that I came from a people with high pride and started the liberation of the Africans in the Americas the maroons are practically the originators of our freedom. I look forward to someday confirming that lineage.

[@elvenatomlinson2571]

We need more young man like him and stop fighting one another good job

[@sharongourzong8795]

We stand with you. As a member of the Diaspora, this information needs to be shared.

[@jimmyewhitfield4715]

[@doraynelewis7186]
