Kwamalasamutu

Kwamalasamutu, also Kwamalasamoetoe, is a Tiriyó Amerindian village in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname, and home to the granman (paramount chief) of the northern Trios.

Kwamalasamutu is the biggest village of the Tiriyó tribe[2] and is located near the disputed border with Guyana.

[4][5] The Werehpai archaeological site, which consists of caves containing petroglyphs of pre-Columbian origin, is located about 10 kilometres from Kwamalasamutu.

New projects are underway to provide electricity in the interior in a hybrid way, with diesel generators taking over production during night.

[8] Kwamalasamutu can be reached by boat on the Sipaliwini River[9] or by plane using the Kwamelasemoetoe Airstrip which offers scheduled services to and from Paramaribo.
