65. Javanese In Suriname Strive To Preserve Origins Javanese dances. This endangers the sustainability and further developmentof Javanese culture in suriname. The education system http://home.wanadoo.nl/javas/Vertellingen/Koesoebjono/JavaneseInSuriname.htm

Javanen van Suriname - Vertellingen Javanese in Suriname strive to preserve origins By: Santo Koesoebjono The Jakarta Post, March 14, 1999 There was a full moon. Scores of descendants of Javanese indentured laborers had come to attend a wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance. The festivity was part of the tradition called bersih desa (cleaning the village) held after the fasting month. The majority of the audience were the elderly, whose emotional attachment to their culture of origin is stronger than that of their children and grandchildren. The performance took place in the illuminated open hall in the home of a Javanese family. People sat on floor mats or chairs, facing the grouped leather puppets neatly arranged on banana trunks. They watched the show from behind the dalang (puppet master) and gamelan (musical instruments) players. On the other side of the screen a number of women played cards for money. Others watched television. Children played under the street lamp outside. The hostess putting on this traditional event offered all the guests a meal comprising a plate of rice with three different dishes, dessert and soft drinks. In the meantime, the gamelan continued playing and the pesinden (female singers) singing and smoking before the wayang performance started at ten o’clock.

66. Suriname's Freedom Celebration what being Miss Alida meant to her, one former winner says, I feel much more comfortablewith my culture, and with being a black suriname woman. Feature by http://jetsettersmagazine.com/archive/jetezine/globe02/samerica/suriname/freedom

Before a slave woman ran away into the jungle from an eighteenth-century Suriname sugar plantation, she wove rice into her hair so that she would have something to plant. Under her breasts and her skirts she hid a piece of cloth, a kitchen knife, some thread or a spoon -anything of practical use that she could successfully carry away into an unknown new life fraught with uncertainty and danger. (Photo above: Miss Alida 2003 is Joan Dogojo.) This contestant dances in a dress she has designed after the Suriname national flag. This was a time referred to by historians as "the golden age of Suriname" because of the wealth exported in the form of sugar, coffee, cotton, tobacco and timber. Plantation life under Dutch colonial rule was hideous for black men, women, and children. The Dutch were such cruel slave masters that, to keep their own slaves inline, American planters threatened them with sale to a Dutchman. Slaves who fled into the jungle were known as Maroons, from the French word marronage , or runaway.

Another Culture Bites The Dust: Suriname Opens Its Rain forest After a Civil War, But Leaves A Journalist Wondering, What Does Eco Tourism Really Mean, Anyway? By Doug Fine Some people enter a new job blindly, some a relationship. I dove into a Continent backwards and with crossed fingers, having progressed far enough in my admittedly procrastinated background research on Suriname before my departure to hear something about a Native Uprising in the small nation of 377,000 north of Brazil. Supplemental research was provided care of some New Yorker-reading friend of the family, who had told my father, and which he had subsequently reminded me daily via voice mail until I left, that "life was cheap" there. I was immediately grateful for the upturned and clearly not-belligerent expressions on the faces of some of the younger members of our welcoming committee at the airstrip, since I was unarmed, and not one of them, it was clear, spoke Surinamese, nor, need I add, English. I chose to interpret the smiles as a universal sign of peaceful intentions. (The Dutch colonizers called Suriname's creole blend of Papiamento, various African dialects, Hindustani lingua franca and Dutch, "Taki-Taki," which local intellectuals consider a First World Insult. Herein I refer to the preferred "Surinamese." Suriname's Maroons and Amerindians have their own languages.) While I helped unload our supplies for the next week in the rain forest, our one guide who did speak the Bush Negro language Sranan Tonga (or this Central Region dialect of it), a brilliant man and Suriname's Chief Librarian, Stanley Powers, was saying something to a large, be-tattooed man who appeared to be in charge. Both were pointing over at me and the rest of the sensory overloaded group, and immediately after a staccato pronouncement by the Large Man, everyone not fully clothed began to laugh, hard. I broke into exaggerated hysterics as well, as if I understood the whole scam, which seemed to unnerve everybody, including my tour group members, and one native woman hid her child behind her hip.

Return to Menu The Process to Design a Sustainable Tourism Development and Conservation Strategy for Suriname Vision Statement The charettes will identify the positive and negative existing aspects of each product; identify bottlenecks to tourism development and consider strategies to maximize participation by local people and the impact on long-term conservation of the resources. The program designed on the basis of this analysis will undoubtedly include a wide range of activities, including facilitation of community participation, physical development, technical assistance, training, and promotion. The development of the tourism products will provide the primary attractions and activities for a growing tourism industry. The products will also serve as a model for other tourism developments in the country. In the longer term, the conservation and sustainable tourism theme and the emphasis on community participation and benefits will create a positive public relations image and story for international press that will help develop a positive image of Suriname as a tourism destination. Specific Goals and Issues to be addressed include: for the Historic Paramaribo Product: To develop a core historically significant urban attraction including interpretation, retail shopping, bars and restaurants and overnight accommodations directed at tourists that encourages the long-term valuation and conservation of the historic estate and the participation of the local community in its benefits.

In the beginning I only knew that I wanted to go to the Caribbean. At school we have area meetings with all the places you can go to, like Aruba, Bonaire, St. Maarten, Jamaica etc. Suriname was new this year. First I thought of going to Aruba, but when I heard that there were so many students and that I was not chosen for an internship at Aruba, I decided to go to Suriname. It is a totally new experience for our hotel school and even for me. I am sure that this is a much more interesting place to go with a lot of different experiences like the different cultures, food, people and a beautiful surrounding.

Bordering Brazil, Guyana, and French Guiana, Suriname is a remarkable land of pristine beauty and vibrant culture. It has one of the highest percentages of tropical forest in the world, and has received international recognition for its landmark conservation efforts. In addition to the diversity of its wildlife, Suriname also has a rich human culture, consisting of Amerindians, Maroons, Creoles, East Indians, Javanese and Dutch. Noted travel writer William Leitch notes “if there are treasured spots to reveal to travelers, Suriname is first among them . With respect to facilities for the study and observation of neotropical history, Suriname is unsurpassed.” We believe the best way to discover this off-the-beaten-track destination is with individuals who know the country and its people first-hand. Our leaders, Henk and Judi Reichert, worked and lived in Suriname for 20 years. Through their leadership we are able to offer you a personal in-depth introduction to this amazing country. Our journey begins and ends in Paramaribo, the monumental center of which has recently been designated by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site. The city is known for its 17th century colonial architecture, a vast central market, and its colorful waterfront on the Suriname River. This is the cultural hub of Suriname and a perfect place to learn something of the country we will explore
