Populations indigenous to the Caribbean islands was the identity of Suriname's people.

Specifically, Suriname was settled by three main waves of Caribbean islanders. The first wave took place no later than 3000 B.C.E. By that wave, the Arawak settled along Suriname's northern, Atlantic coastal zone. The second wave included the Carib, Arawak relatives who were master sailors. The Carib chose to settle Suriname's eastern zones along the Marowijne River. The third wave clustered relatives of the Arawak and Carib in pockets throughout the country's vast rain forest interior.
