2013. Territorial demarcation

There is a boundary agreement signed with the neighboring tribes to the Saamaka territory.

 

As part of the implementation of the Saamaka judgement, Saamaka tribe enters in conversation with neighboring tribes to agree on the demarcation of ancestral land. The natural watershed boundaries have been mutually agreed in writing. The Government of Suriname acts as a witness.

The signed document is in the archives of the Ministry of Regional Development. The paper provides evidence that there is no border dispute among Saamaka people, the Matawai and the Okanisi.
