Pinatjaimi

Pinatjaimi, also spelled as Pinatyaimi, is a Ndyuka Maroon village on the Cottica River in Suriname.

Pinatjaimi lies opposite the village of Lantiwei, from where it was once founded.

In the war, the village was only slightly damaged, but most of its inhabitants fled to either French Guiana or to Paramaribo.

The name Pinatjaimi comes from the Ndyuka pina tyai mi which means "poverty brought me here".

It is said that Pinatjaimi was founded by a couple from Lantiwei after family problems.
