Who were Suriname's settlers?

Answer 1

Caribbean island natives, Dutch and English traders from Europe, south and southeast Asian contract workers and West Africa slaves were Suriname's settlers.

Specifically, it is thought that Suriname was settled no later than 3000 B.C.E. The first settlers were the Arawak and then the Carib, native populations of the Caribbean islands. The next settlers were the Dutch and English traders of the early seventeenth (17th) century. Not long after were the slave populations from West Africa. Last were the immigrant workers from the British colonial India and from Dutch colonial Indonesia.
