Redi Doti (also Redidoti) is an indigenous village of Lokono and Kalina[2] Amerindians in the resort of Carolina in the Para District in Suriname. The village is located near the site of Jodensavanne.[3]
History
[edit | edit source]The village of Redi Doti was officially founded in 1930 when a Roman Catholic church was constructed. However, in 1828, an indigenous village of about 50 people was reported to exist near Jodensavanne,[3] a Jewish autonomous plantation area which was abandoned after a fire in 1832.[4]
In the late 1980s, during the Surinamese Interior War, the village was evacuated and partially destroyed.[5] The village was rebuilt in 1992; however, many inhabitants have remained in Paramaribo.[3]
Overview
[edit | edit source]Redi Doti has a school and a clinic. In 2015, a new school building was constructed.[6] The pineapple industry is the main source of income for the village.[7] The village has 9,000 hectares of communal forest for hunting, fishing and subsistence farming.[3] In 2019, Marchano Stuger was elected as the new village chief.[1]
Transport
[edit | edit source]The village used be accessed via the Carolinabrug, which provided access to the Avobakaweg to Paramaribo. However, the bridge was damaged after it was hit by a boat, and in 2014, a new bridge was constructed near Redi Doti.[8]
