The Jamaican Maroons
The Maroons of Jamaica
The Maroon Celebration takes place annually on January 6th.
Who are the maroons?
The maroons descend from Africa who freed themselves from slavery in Jamaican and established communities of freed black people in the mountainous interior of Jamaica. They were the first to develop refugee communities.
The Maroons revolted against he British causing economic harm to the sugar industry. British. The British were not successful in theses revolts soldiers either go lost or were rumored to have said that her forest just got up and attacked them.
Treaties were signed with the Leeward Maroons in 1739 and the Leeward Maroons in 1740, giving them land. The treaties required the maroons to support the institution of slavery by returning run away salves. The treaties were signed but the battles continued for more than a century until the massive uprising in 1831 that lead to the abolition of slavery in Jamaican and the British colonies in the Caribbean.
The word Maroon comes from the Spanish word Cimaroon meaning “fierce” or “unruly”.
The descendants of the maroons celebrate life, legacy and Queen Nanny at the annual event. Queen Nanny is known as one of the earliest leaders of slave resistance in the Americas, and one of very few women. She is Jamaica’s only female National hero and was a well-known leader of the Jamaican Maroons in the eighteenth century.
