The Inini or Grand Inini is a river in western French Guiana. It is a tributary of the Lawa, the upper course of the Maroni. The river is 215 km (134 mi) long (including its upper course Limonade) and non-navigable.[1] The Inini is the only major river in French Guiana which runs east to west, unlike the other major rivers which run south to north.[2] In the beginning of the 20th century, it was the site of a gold rush, and the gold prospectors have become active in the region again since the 1990s.[3] The Inini territory which has existed between 1930 and 1946 was named after this river.[2]
