The Maroons I believe should be more acknowledge by our Government. There settlements can be use as tourist attraction

areas. The members of these communities would be provided with jobs allowing their tribe to be better able to provide for

their families. This initiative will also boost economy growth for Jamaica. Likewise, the history of the Maroons would be

better preserved and shared by settlers. The Maroons will also be more recognize if their territories are better develop. A

museum should be erected in all Maroon settlements, this would help showcase the Maroon’s history. Society would give

more respect and attention if government used different mediums to highlight Maroons culture.

The Maroons I believe should be involve in some Government decisions making. The laws that govern the security force I

believe could be supported with decisions making from the maroons representatives. The Maroon communities are sheltered

from crime and violence, based on the rules and principles set-up by their leaders for them to follow. Undoubtedly, I believe

if we practice some of these measures, our country will have less crime and violence. As a result the Maroons would be more

acknowledge and the preservation of part of their culture would be among the majority rights.
