As a proud Maroon myself I totally enjoyed this interview. My grandpa is still alive so I know who I am not by paper work but by oral history handed down. Chief represents to the fullest. Well spoken Ina educated and articulated fashion in a modern up to date way that not only the elders can be proud of but the Youths of today can be enlightened. Thank you.
@askella A Amen to your comment! My mother's father, whose Grandfather was a slave, told him everything the Maroon did to them. The first Heroes Day was when I was growing up and attending school, and I told the teacher that the Maroons were our greatest enemies and an obstacle to our ancestor's freedom from the British. She told me that I was listening to too many Rastas. “My grandfather, grandfather who was a slave, told me, “ “I've heard the same stories, but I thought it was Rasta's propaganda,” She said. Fire 🔥 for every Maroon! The government needs to take back the land and deport them to Britain and face their racist and wicked ally.
Did you know the Maroons also captured their fellow Blacks for the slave master? That has to be addressed as well. I think the Maroons get much more credit than they deserve.
I'm a maroon. Windward, wayward, If your ancestors was a ,double agent ,wolf in sheep clothing, Trojan Horse, traitor, he would be captured and returned.
@@JahmekyaNo1 I am from another caribbean island and know nothing of Jamaican history or the Maroons BUT if you all want to cause segregation by saying the Maroons captured slaves for the white man, then make note that ALL slaves, ALLLLLLLLLL, WERE CAPTURED AND SOLD BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE. so let's start the discussion there! Let's go back to Africa, where blacks betrayed, captured & sold their own tibes to the white man so that today we can all, as descendant of slaves.... still be here fighting amongst ourselves and hindering our own progress as a people. discuss that!
@@justbelit Technically true. The real plot. Took 15 years to. Execute 1st step was to Capture over 800 5 year old kids to return. Brain washing them to carry out Spain’s bidding. They still use black people to destroy other black people. Then act as if it’s not going towards their plan.
Well-spoken, intellectually inclined, intelligent. Born leader. I have now developed maximum respect for this gentleman. We need more leaders like this man.
An absolute gem of an interview. Being a Jamaican living in of all places Belgium, I'm feeling very proud of my roots sister Yendi and brother Chief Currie. It's good to have a detailed refresher on our history and specifically the history of the Cockpit Country, which I'm feeling very proud of. Being an entrepreneur myself, I'm proud to hear of the many initiatives that the Chief is spearheading to put his/our people on the map and to do it with Divine intervention and humility. Way to go! Can't wait to visit and hope there will be a Cockpit Country spa in the making which came to mind when he mentioned Health and Wellness which is my cup of tea!!! All positive energies go out to you both for your individual and global success Much love
I can officially say I am schooled today. The honesty and integrity of Chief Currie has me crying for our country leaders to take a look internally. We need to get somewhere and in order for us to do so we must learn to practice how to compromise. The treaty was for our land not freedom of the people 🗣🗣🗣 Yendi I do appreciate this interview it’s now on top ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I’ve been waiting for Yendi to interview the Chief. This man definitely knows and have the DNA of the Maroons. I have some the maroon from my grandma side. Learning about our ancestors is definitely important.
This guy is well learnt. It’s amazing how much: a clean and selfless mind, a good education and a love for heritage can lead one to be so humble yet willing to fight through dialogue in order to safeguard a culture and a people. Long live the chief.
What an amazing interview, you can tell this man is intelligent and has his peoples interest at heart.. We need him to be prime minster of Jamaica. He will not sell out the country .!
I admire Chief Currie, he's smart and a strong leader. This is a great interview, Yendi you did it again..I learn so much about the maroons that I didn't even know about. .I enjoyed every minute of it..
You keep repeating a lie over and over and over again. Even the most educated people will believe the lies if they do not read to find out the truth. The Maroon was/is BLACK Jamaican greatest enemy during slavery. They would capture and return runaway slaves and return them to the plantations where the punishment was harsh and brutal in every way. And you believe that the Maroons were good Black people? Did you know that of all the Rebels slaves, it was the late “TACKY” who was able to inflict devastating economic effects on the plantation owners, and it helped the Americans to fight the British monarchy for freedom. Do you know who killed TACKY and decapitated him, and placed his head on a stick? The MAROONS, and not the British. If it were up to the Maroons, we would be in the cane fields chopping canes. Don't forget that the British rescinded the agreement that they had with the Maroons because the White men knew that any person who is a traitor to their race is not a patriot but someone who you should never trust, and that is what the Maroons. Snakes that you must use salt and pepper to get rid of them out of your life.
If he so good why are the rest of the marrons rebelling against him saying he is a dictator...maroons we traitor to our own black people during slavery
I never clicked so fast.👀👀👀❤❤❤❤🙀🙀🙀🙀 what a WAY this Black man sweeeeeet💚 !!! Jamaica needs to reclaim its ROYALTY with these type of men: - Humble, Intelligent, well-mannered !... and I can say so much more
@@GoddessShekmet444 I totally agree... I am sorry ... I am " highly educated...." but I can not focus on ONE word he has said.... I reminded three* times after the first five minutes... He is SO well created 💚💚💚🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟... Thank you Lord !
WHAT A TREAT! Each episode gets better. I like Chief bawdddd! Kudos to you Chief for ALL your efforts. May our ancestors continue to guide and protect you each and every step of the way. Nuff love and respect to you. Jamaica might just be seeing me again for one (or all) of those tours.
I actually live in accompong, maroon town I see him daily haha 😂😂 we in the country lmfao y'all can come and see him in January the 6th when we're having our big celebration
I am blessed just to be able to hear this interview. Deeply honored that you have chosen to interview him and share knowledge that for myself living in Canada I was not aware of. xoxo
He is a very intelligent and educated young man I hope his dreams and aspirations will materialize to the benefit of the people he serves. I think his intentions are noble and I’d like to see him achieve those goals.
Chief Currie is talking the same things I've been talking about. Agriculture and the value added component. Agri-processing and food security. It is the way to go sure.
Jamaican born living in Toronto Canada and recently had the opportunity to meet chief David Smith at a rally. It was amazing. Thanks for sharing this insightful interview.
I like him. He exudes authenticity and it sounds like he has a real passion to help his people. Something we all know is missing in most governments. I also learnt a lot from listening to him. I will be following his journey from now on.
I love this interview so much! As an educator of students who are now learning about their heritage, this has shed some light on the topic. I am definitely more empowered to deliver the content. Thank you Yendi and your eye-catching guest.
Man, you cannot be an educator. You did not hear the whole story of the Jamaica, Maroons, British experience, so why would you teach this to youngsters without veting it? Man, I am embarrassed by your statement. Did you know that the Maroons aligned themselves with the British to capture Tacky, Paul Bogle and many other black Jamaicans? The same heroes that you love so much. Please go and learn the history of Jamaica.
Love, Honor and Respect to Yendi and Chief Richard Currie because really love the interview it was very informative and educational. In fact, really appreciate the Maroons and our ancestor for guiding and protecting us physically and spirtually to fight and keep our land safe.
Look at this man, that's what Jamaica looked like before "Out of many one people" became a thing on the island.....Pure beauty, strength, wisdom and pride!!!
4:53 Onwards was a very very interesting statement that surprised me. It is a school of thought that I heard before. Basically, Africans were already navigating and settling in the Americas before the Europeans "discovered" it. This makes the backdrop of Queen Nanny even more coherent and sound. "His-story" may not be exactly as we have been told.
I am a proud and advocate philanthropist MAROON from Cujoe Hill, Saint Catharine. So family, legacy, land, inheritance is our key to our ancestors and their hard sweat, tears, pains, loss, hurts, and planting and living off the LAND of our BIRTH. So when government officials and its entities wants to come in and confiscate our land, our legacy we have to stand up for our rights. Taking a stance for our Human Rights, our Civil Rights, our Ancestral Rights, our Life, Our Legacy for our children and their children children's The government officials are infringing and trying make money, sellinh the lands that which belongs to the citizens, not for foreign entities to come and build when we as maroons, diverse people are rooted up We know our land rights. We know the treaty agreement, whether or not Jamaica itself took British authority and still under its authority sovereignty.
WOW! WOW! did I say WOW!!! I can listen to this guy speak allllllll day. Great on the eyes and extremely knowledgeable. I WISH HIM ALL THE BEST. I HOPE THAT HIS DREAMS TRULY MANIFEST FOR HIS COMMUNITY....BLESSINGS CHEIF CURRIE 👏👏
Let's hope he is not leading up to power only for himself, you are all too gullible. After what happened last week, be very careful with these titles that are bestowed on.mere mortals. There once was a man known as Hi Excellency, we just saw what he did.
Well Yendi, you have been doing excellent interviews but this is excellent plus tax. Sir Currie I commend you. Today you have opened my eyes to several questions that I would have loved to ask my grandmother. Why are you not running to lead our beautiful Country. OMG you are a great inspiration 👏. Keep up the great work. Yendi, well done ✔ 👏
As an Internal Auditor by profession and a past PwC employee, I'm feeling very proud and positive about where he will and is taking his people 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Don't 'ramp' with an auditor eenuh 😊🙌🏽🇯🇲 we are a no nonsense people
Chief Curry is very intellegent and articulate.... this is a part of Jamaican history that I knew nothing about. This is an inspiration for me to learn more about the Maroons. Thank Yendi, much appreciated.
Great interview yendz as the ssyimg goes never judge a book by its cover......especially his biography it is on a never level and thanks for allowing your viewers to know about this man......shalom
This is another awesome show Mrs Yendi, not many people even know about the maroons and their impact on Jamaican history. Thanks for another awesome educational experience. Keep up the great work...congratulations Mr currie...I'm even much more excited about your show young lady.
Great interview and I’m learning about how the maroons come about. Never learn this in school back home, this has cause me to do some more research on the maroons. 🙌
Nicole Marshall i am a Jamaican American. I too is a part of the Maroon heritage. Related to some by my grandma on my dads side. So when i hear about the Maroons I like to stay informed and connected in some way. Much love and peace.
Couldn't even watch this in one sitting, I'm not that region of 🇯🇲 but trust me he's super inspiring, Thank You Yendi for brining this talk to us Hear di man when him seh THIS IS MY YAAAAD jahjah
Yendy, thank you for taking the time to interview our Chief. This man has a calling on his life. God and our ancestors will guide him. Yes I am inspired. All Jamaicans at home and abroad should listen to this interview and take something from it. I have and his words will resonate with me. I am now questioning my commitment and contributiin to my tribe and people.
This an excellent interview. I have a lot of respect for Chief. I pray his strength and wisdom and he definitely has the knowledge. This is not a hard fix but greed of others create conflicts and deceite to put Cockpit Country in a state of antagonistic continuous road blocks of rights to exist. The Native Americans have their own governing police that works with the general law. Keep strong. There are more with you than against you (Acompong). Looking forward to visiting. Thanks Y.
Forgiveness, do what makes you happy , trust in the Supreme ( God) - thanks for these messages Chief Curie. The Lord bless you and the Maroons.... 🇯🇲 by extension....
I have to say that I thank Ms Phillips and her team for highlighting what treasures and national resources we have among all of subjects interviewed. These interviews are very insightful and have a very natural flow. The host has a rare gift and it is obvious how much research and planning is behind each interview. Each person interviewed from the legends like Ms Breakspeare and Mr Samuels, to the intellectuals like Prof Haughton to the epitome of sweat equity in Aunty Donna all stories are even more inspiring as each person interviewed has been given the equity to tell his/her story in the most powerful and unfiltered way. All have a message of having a focus in life that is meaningful, mindful, capable of transcending severe odds, inclusive, requires comradeship and is ultimately transparent/accountable. "Keep Pushing!"
Hey @Yendi, happy the program is back, I really enjoy all episodes and this one is at the top of my list. I really enjoyed his intelligence and he seems like a really great leader and I am sure his community is happy to have him as their leader. Keep doing great work Mr Currie.
Big chune at the end there Chief 🔥…It was a pleasure to meet you Chief Currie. All the very best to you and the Maroon nation. Yours is not an easy task, but as the song says “if Jah is standing by…” There is so much more I want to learn about the Maroons. Big up Yens for bringing us this amazing man and his story.
In what ways? The problem is that you focused on his "intelligence." You need to go and look up the treaty, for yourself, read and analyze the treaty. You will come away knowing that Currie's argument could not hold up in a constitutional court. So, do not focus on his perceived intellect, get the facts about the treaty. You heard one side of the story, and since Yendi is such a terrible interviewer, you came away impressed with his intelligence and good looks, but nothing else. By the way, did you know that the Maroons aligned themselves with the British to capture black Jamaicans and returned them to be slaughtered by the British? Did you know that Tacky was captured by the Maroons and handed over to the British to be slaughtered? Also, Paul Bogle and many other black Jamaicans
@@decijohn6855 who asked you for verification, clarification or anything. Why dont you go there and be a better leader and explain the treaty. Have a lot of seats!!!! Bye
@@decijohn6855 Bro you're spoiling a good story 😳😳.. Remember truth is often uncomfortable so it's easier to stick to the already established narrative.
I've watched a handful of videos of the Chief, but this one was truly an honor to sit down to. Born and raised in JA but left when I was 12. All these years I thought the maroons were runaway slaves. Feel likkle ashamed to say that but a full cup never has space for fresh water. Thank you for this one Yendi and bless up yuh self Chief. On another note, every time I watch your interviews mi waan come dig up that garden/backyard and transplant it bakka mi house 😂😂 beautiful space. Would be such a joy to sit there and write some poetry or edit my next book. Especially with a little tears from weeping clouds
Quite inspiring Chief Currie.Meditation, meditation, meditation that is a big part of my everyday life. As Chief said, "you will get the answer", you will. I love Odyssey just as much as I love Yendi. Blessings
This was an excellent interview, Yendi! Smart timing too (or maybe I'm just late) ... I'm sure a lot of us are now forced to (re)examine a lot of what we've been taught/we thought. This forum also does a lot for the Chief's image as well. He comes across as more personable. #KeepGoing
Yendi, I've applauded on most if not all your interviews; however this one was exceptional. You asked the right questions, and got the Chief to explain his intentions for the betterment of the Maroons quite brilliant and eloquently. My one critique was wishing the interview had been a bit longer. Much love, and be well.
Absolutely outstanding work Yendi ... it is critical that we as a people acknowledge and recognize the importance of indigenous rights and rituals as well as understanding their contribution to where our country is today. Too many people are dismissive of their place and it is arrogant that the Jamaican government cannot humbly engage with the roots. Great job Yendi!!
From a young girl growing up I was told that my family are Maroons, and always saying that someday I would like to visit A campong, you are educated and obviously very smart. I enjoy listening to your interview with Yendi. We stand with you Chief Currie, thank you for enlightening us.
We as Jamaican of to be certfull of these leader because me was Lessing to the man on mutabaruka program and the man could not answer the questions and him run a way look him so happy to speak now 🤔🤔
Once again Yendi good interview...Chief is so articulate i loved the interview...keep up the good work....blessings...i was really schooled today..big up Chief Currie

Definitely the right person to take over as Chief! With his wisdom, experience and vision for the community…Accompong will be “reborn “‼️‼️
He is a very intelligent and educated young man I hope his dreams and aspirations will materialize to the benefit of the people he serves. I think his intentions are noble and I’d like to see him achieve those goals.
Wow just wow. This man is absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed every minute of this interview and I learnt so much.
Thank U for this, Yendi! I see some of his answers hit u in de same way they did to me. Much Luv n respect!!🇯🇲🖤💛💚🇯🇲
Let us know how we outside of Jamaica can purchase some of those beautiful necklace, bracelet and scarf that the handsome Chief wears so well.
Beautifully done Yendi. I learnt so much. Keep strong chief. God is your keeper.
So inspired by this educated, well-spoken chief. Thanks Yendi!!!❤
This is the most inspiring story and interview I have watched in a long time. Big up Yendi and Chief Currie.
Not only handsome, but brilliant...accept, learn, forgive, adjust, trusting in God….get back in tune with yourself…
Chief Currie is talking the same things I've been talking about. Agriculture and the value added component. Agri-processing and food security. It is the way to go sure.
Yes! Jamaica’s history of agriculture made Britain wealthy
Wow such a brilliant man. Would sit and listen to him all day. Well done Yendi 👏
Be careful of these out of nowhere masters.

His Excellency was extremely informative. Thanks for the words.
I think it would be a good idea if he has an online store that sells maroon items, that way he can generate income from all over the world.
Exactly
Yeh but you guys afto understand. These things are spiritual. Things not for sale.. Afto keep the blessing..
Certainly appreciate your thoughts anyone who’s listening to this advice on starting this online store . I’m strongly looking for it’s opening.

Great interview yendz as the ssyimg goes never judge a book by its cover......especially his biography it is on a never level and thanks for allowing your viewers to know about this man......shalom
Yendi your spirit is so pure , it shows .
Wow! I learnt so much. As usual Yendi never disappoints 💫
This is another awesome show Mrs Yendi, not many people even know about the maroons and their impact on Jamaican history. Thanks for another awesome educational experience. Keep up the great work...congratulations Mr currie...I'm even much more excited about your show young lady.
Great interview and I’m learning about how the maroons come about. Never learn this in school back home, this has cause me to do some more research on the maroons. 🙌
What a brilliant mind, what a man!! Great interview as always Yendi… the life hacks had me
Nicole Marshall i am a Jamaican American. I too is a part of the Maroon heritage. Related to some by my grandma on my dads side. So when i hear about the Maroons I like to stay informed and connected in some way. Much love and peace.
Couldn't even watch this in one sitting, I'm not that region of 🇯🇲 but trust me he's super inspiring, Thank You Yendi for brining this talk to us
Hear di man when him seh THIS IS MY YAAAAD jahjah
Yendy, thank you for taking the time to interview our Chief. This man has a calling on his life. God and our ancestors will guide him. Yes I am inspired. All Jamaicans at home and abroad should listen to this interview and take something from it. I have and his words will resonate with me. I am now questioning my commitment and contributiin to my tribe and people.
This an excellent interview. I have a lot of respect for Chief. I pray his strength and wisdom and he definitely has the knowledge. This is not a hard fix but greed of others create conflicts and deceite to put Cockpit Country in a state of antagonistic continuous road blocks of rights to exist. The Native Americans have their own governing police that works with the general law. Keep strong. There are more with you than against you (Acompong). Looking forward to visiting. Thanks Y.
Forgiveness, do what makes you happy , trust in the Supreme ( God) - thanks for these messages Chief Curie. The Lord bless you and the Maroons.... 🇯🇲 by extension....
I’m so grateful for this interview 👍
I TRULY LOVE THIS I HAVE LEARNT ALOT OF STUFF THAT WAS NEEDED 💭🙇♂️🙇♂️ much respect to CHIEF CURRIE things starting to make sense 🇯🇲🇯🇲💪🏾💪🏾
Homerun again Yendi!!!!!
Happy to meet you chief love and blessings
Chief Currie, you are a brilliant and smart leader., please keep your life morally clean so that you can be a successful leader.
I have to say that I thank Ms Phillips and her team for highlighting what treasures and national resources we have among all of subjects interviewed. These interviews are very insightful and have a very natural flow. The host has a rare gift and it is obvious how much research and planning is behind each interview. Each person interviewed from the legends like Ms Breakspeare and Mr Samuels, to the intellectuals like Prof Haughton to the epitome of sweat equity in Aunty Donna all stories are even more inspiring as each person interviewed has been given the equity to tell his/her story in the most powerful and unfiltered way. All have a message of having a focus in life that is meaningful, mindful, capable of transcending severe odds, inclusive, requires comradeship and is ultimately transparent/accountable. "Keep Pushing!"
Hey @Yendi, happy the program is back, I really enjoy all episodes and this one is at the top of my list. I really enjoyed his intelligence and he seems like a really great leader and I am sure his community is happy to have him as their leader. Keep doing great work Mr Currie.
This was amazing and eye opening interview. Thank you for this. One Love 🇯🇲
Big chune at the end there Chief 🔥…It was a pleasure to meet you Chief Currie. All the very best to you and the Maroon nation. Yours is not an easy task, but as the song says “if Jah is standing by…” There is so much more I want to learn about the Maroons. Big up Yens for bringing us this amazing man and his story.
This was a great informative and motivational interview. Kudos Dizzle another one for the books.
In what ways? The problem is that you focused on his "intelligence." You need to go and look up the treaty, for yourself, read and analyze the treaty. You will come away knowing that Currie's argument could not hold up in a constitutional court. So, do not focus on his perceived intellect, get the facts about the treaty. You heard one side of the story, and since Yendi is such a terrible interviewer, you came away impressed with his intelligence and good looks, but nothing else. By the way, did you know that the Maroons aligned themselves with the British to capture black Jamaicans and returned them to be slaughtered by the British? Did you know that Tacky was captured by the Maroons and handed over to the British to be slaughtered? Also, Paul Bogle and many other black Jamaicans
@@decijohn6855 who asked you for verification, clarification or anything. Why dont you go there and be a better leader and explain the treaty. Have a lot of seats!!!! Bye
@@OPALC27 Lol!
I am at a lost for words, wow!!, yendi you did it again 👏 🙌 ❤
@@decijohn6855 Bro you're spoiling a good story 😳😳..
Remember truth is often uncomfortable so it's easier to stick to the already established narrative.
This is a brilliant interview Yendi. I really appreciate your interview style of allowing your guests speak with minimal interruptions.
Thank you!🙏🏽
Thank you Yendi for this interview . Eye opening
Thanks for hosting the chief Yendi. Very insightful and informative interview. It taught me a lot about the maroons
I've watched a handful of videos of the Chief, but this one was truly an honor to sit down to. Born and raised in JA but left when I was 12. All these years I thought the maroons were runaway slaves. Feel likkle ashamed to say that but a full cup never has space for fresh water. Thank you for this one Yendi and bless up yuh self Chief. On another note, every time I watch your interviews mi waan come dig up that garden/backyard and transplant it bakka mi house 😂😂 beautiful space. Would be such a joy to sit there and write some poetry or edit my next book. Especially with a little tears from weeping clouds
Lol, I asked my husband this morning what were we doing in history class..lol..he mentioned that they didn't teach us these things...hmmmm..
Quite inspiring Chief Currie.Meditation, meditation, meditation that is a big part of my everyday life. As Chief said, "you will get the answer", you will. I love Odyssey just as much as I love Yendi. Blessings
We need leader like you that has humility, brain and the right work attitude
This was an excellent interview, Yendi! Smart timing too (or maybe I'm just late) ... I'm sure a lot of us are now forced to (re)examine a lot of what we've been taught/we thought. This forum also does a lot for the Chief's image as well. He comes across as more personable. #KeepGoing
Yendi, I've applauded on most if not all your interviews; however this one was exceptional. You asked the right questions, and got the Chief to explain his intentions for the betterment of the Maroons quite brilliant and eloquently. My one critique was wishing the interview had been a bit longer.
Much love, and be well.
This is one of the best interaction i have seen and i learn in the purpose Yendi girl
He really opened up with Yendi!
Absolutely outstanding work Yendi ... it is critical that we as a people acknowledge and recognize the importance of indigenous rights and rituals as well as understanding their contribution to where our country is today. Too many people are dismissive of their place and it is arrogant that the Jamaican government cannot humbly engage with the roots. Great job Yendi!!
Great interview
I think they should make more effort to teach our Jamaican history in schools all the way up not just a little in primary. It should be mandatory
I'm also interested to learn more my sister Greetings from South Africa
God bless 🙏🏼
From a young girl growing up I was told that my family are Maroons, and always saying that someday I would like to visit A campong, you are educated and obviously very smart. I enjoy listening to your interview with Yendi. We stand with you Chief Currie, thank you for enlightening us.
True talk says now the people them there is giving im a fight there
Why the greedy government want to mine out all of that ?intelligent chief need more community leaders like him who are forward thinkers
We as Jamaican of to be certfull of these leader because me was Lessing to the man on mutabaruka program and the man could not answer the questions and him run a way look him so happy to speak now 🤔🤔
I’m just so much in love with the Jamaican accent it’s soo African and just amazing. I’m coming to Jamaica soon 💓
Once again Yendi good interview...Chief is so articulate i loved the interview...keep up the good work....blessings...i was really schooled today..big up Chief Currie
