Manlobi (also: Malobi[2]) is a village of Ndyuka Maroons in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname. The village is located on an island in the Tapanahony River.[1]
Overview
[edit | edit source]Man was built by runaways from the plantations.[3] In 1797, it was reported that there was a village on this location.[4]
Manlobi has a school, and a Methodist church.[2] In 2010, a communication mast was placed on the Berayu mountain near the village, providing the village with mobile phone access.[5]
In 2007, Freedom Resources, a gold mining company, procured a large concession on the left shore of the river and built a settlement near the landing ground with a supermarket.[6] The mining activities have attracted skalians, illegal gold dredges, who pollute the river with mercury.[1]
In 2009, the short documentary Trypps #6 by Ben Russell was shot in Manlobi.[7]
