Brooskampers

The Brooskampers (also: Bakabusi Nengre) were a Maroon people, descendants of runaway African slaves, living in the forested interior of Suriname.

On 2 September 1863, a peace treaty was signed offering the tribe the abandoned plantations Klaverblad and Rorac.

[7][5] No granman (paramount chief) was appointed instead Broos and his brother Kaliko were installed as kabitens (captains).

[10] In 1917,[7] kabiten Johannes Babel and Alcoa negotiated a deal which was accepted by the tribe,[11] the lands were sold, and the people settled in Tout-Lui-Faut near Paramaribo.

[14] Ronald Babel, one of the descendants, and other family members had restored the damaged graves at the plantation,[1] and erected a Winti shrine at the site.
