Descendants of West African, Javanese, indigenous American, Hindu, Dutch and Chinese immigrants are what makes up Suriname's people.
Specifically, West African descendants owe their heritage to the runaway slaves of the Caribbean and South America. Javanese, Hindu and Chinese descendants have as ancestors imported contract laborers for the country's plantation economies. Indigenous descendants claim a Caribbean origin for their Arawak and Carib ancestors. The Dutch are the descendants of Suriname's European colonial past.
