Tribal clusterings of hunters, fishers and farmers that found artistic expression in the making of items of everyday usecharacterized Suriname's culture before the arrival of the Europeans in the sixteenth and seventeenth (16th-17th) centuries.

Specifically, Suriname's pre-European culture was shaped by settlers and sailors from the Caribbean islands. The first population wave took place along Suriname's Atlantic coastline under the initiative of the Arawak, nomadic hunters and fishers. The second wave resulted in settlement along such important water bodies as the Marowijne River by the Carib, master sailors and Arawak relatives. The third wave occurred in the country's vast rain forest interior.
