Settlement by Caribbean peoples is what characterizes Suriname's pre-history.

Specifically, Suriname's first settlers are thought to have arrived no later 3000 B.C.E. They were the Arawak, a tribe of nomadic fishers and hunters. They were succeeded by the Carib, Caribbean relatives who were intrepid sailors. The Carib tended to settle along the Marowijne River, in the area of the disputed modern boundaries of Suriname and French Guiana. The vast rain forest interior beyond the coastal zones and savannas of the Arawak and Carib was settled by such Caribbean relatives as Tiriyó, Warrau and Wayana.
