content: The Recovering Voices Community Research Visit of Matawai Maroons from Suriname took place September 8-19, 2018. These comments were made by community members, elder Jozef Dennert, bassia Tina Henkie, and Rolien Sallons on Friday, September 14, 2018. The group conferred on comments to make about the collections objects so all notes are attributed to the group as a whole. As far as the group knows, this is neither Matawai nor Saramaccan maroon of Suriname.
