Thank you Rachel for bringing this back to my memory. I remember as a child my Grandmother from St.James always go there witb church we always talk about there
Nonsense, the Ashantis has sold us. We are not one people. We were their servants when they sold us. We were strangers in their land. We have taken over their customs, religion, language etc because we were already an oppressed people. If you stay long enougg in another coubtrey you will start talkingvtheir language and adapt to their lifestyle, but your blood through your veins doesnt change. See youtube video's: Brought by ships part 1, 2 and 3 told by the Ravenous bird.
@@deeal9817 who sold who you don't know what you are saying Asantes are group of people who came together and form a union to fight their oppressors Asante means (because of war) is through the wars that some were captured and sent to the Caribbeans so don't rely on hearsay
@@mariopuzzo5854 the original comment said they in Sierra Leone descend from maroons. Because the British “deported” Jamaican maroons to Sierra Leone. So many with Akan blood, or Akanized maroons would of ended up in Sierra leon via Jamaica. The Jamaican maroons were not all akans but the Akan culture and structure were dominant.
I love the way in which chief explaine in a peaceful and intelligent manner so we al get a good understanding thank you sir blessings peace and love to all jamaican
@MR LEXX you’ve been misinformed 🤣 you do not know my great grandparents. In fact, a civil war broke out in ghana in the 18th century to stop slavery. Kidnapping Ghanaians for slavery was a crime punishable by DEATH & EXILE. Africa isn’t a country. Congo was one of the few countries who “sold slaves” and it was through manipulation through Christianity and when their king wanted it to stop he was threatened by Belgium. Just to give you historical context, ghana at the time was AKAN.. Asante and Fante. Made up off - royalty, middle class and poor people. Poor people did kidnap people into slavery, but it was never “okay”. The Asante king fought 7 times to stop slavery, grave robbing and invasion ! 68% of the Atlantic slave trade was through KIDNAP, some judicial ( as punishment to horrible crimes like rape, child molestation, war ect) and trade being the lowest. ( I have a degree in international relations I can provide sources for everything I’m saying. I do not appreciate people like YOU, spreading this lie without context that Africans sold Africans into slavery… when in reality it’s not the case, and when it is the case you’re missing out valuable context. I’m a Asante woman. The “Fante” aligned with the British in the late 18th century…… after slavery was abolished. None of my “grandparents” sold slaves 🤣 I can actually trace my complete lineage by my name. You’re also “Indian” predominately correct? Indians do not have the best reputation regards to history in the Caribbean or Africa… they actually have worked closely with the British before, during and after the slave trade…
@YouareIandIAMYou the thing is many of us even in Ghana come from Nigeria as a result of Migration & mixing the Ga, Ewe, Fon & to some degree Ashanti all have some sort of “Nigerian DNA” as many of us migrated through the place and stayed for hundreds of years before moving to the area called Ghana & then forcefully taken out of the area. So you are right & wrong.
@YouareIandIAMYou that’s great. Nigerians and Ghanaians have many cultural similarities. Nigeria is also an amazing country with amazing history, spirituality, languages and tribes,
@YouareIandIAMYou right the thing is culturally the groups from The Gold Coast had a more dominant impact on all of the groups of people on the island. The Ashanti were very militaristic and culturally organized in those days.
Marcus Garvey's second wife said her grandmother used to speak Twi (Asante) to her when she was a child. She came to Asante in the Gold Coast in the early 1900s and had her Asanteness restored to her by the Asantehene then.
The majority of enslaved people brought to Jamaica were from West Africa so our culture & language (including that of the Maroons) still have a lot of similarities with cultures/languages from that region. Love to the motherland 🙏🏽🇯🇲
@@eyelandgal true the other day I was watching a video of a Nigerian touring people in the differentiated castles were they shipped slaves from in west Africa. He said a lot of slaves didn’t directly leave from there to Jamaica. He said a lot of the slaves that came to Jamaica were the rebellious ones they took from other countries including the moors and it makes sense with what Currie is saying
Big up @RICHARD CURRIE... he gave a very good and clear and easy to understand explanation about how the maroons all started... GREAT JOB @RICHARD CURRIE... 🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲...
Everything he said was wrong though 😂 taino were in the DR, Caribs were in Jamaica. No Jamaican has tested double digits for carib DNA, it was replaced by more African DNA. And Moors were never sub-saharan, Moor became slang for anyone off white. This guy's lying 😂 and people are loving it. Go fact check me 🤷 I'm 1000% Right.
Correction: Akan is an ethnic group made of tribes like Asante, Fante, Akuapem, etc. Each with its own language - mutually intelligible but not alike. Example: Fante call banana "mpua". Asante and Akuapem say kwadu. But Fante would say "bra haa mo" and Asante would say "bra ha nom". Both mean "come here." "nam" (meat or fish) is the same across all the three three tribes.
Follow WadeMaya. He's an Ghanaian tuber who is changing the narrative of Africa as told by Europeans. He visits African countries and vlog about them. He will be visiting the African diaspora starting with Jamaica. I want him to connect with Rochiline and Chief Currie

He actually doesn't 😂 taino were in the DR, not Jamaica 😂 it's Caribs. And no Moors were ever brought from Africa. It takes two seconds to see I'm right and he's wrong. What's happening in Jamaica, they've taken up being culture vultures like FBA in the US. Claiming everything but African 😂 when we live in the Age of AI and DNA tests.

This guy is good!!! Watched this to learn about foreign tribes but as I listened to him describe the complications of achieving their treaty with the English, for a second thought he was talking about what happened in my country (Ireland) 100 years ago!!! We were colonised by England for hundreds of years and strived for independence but only achieved freedom for 26 counties out of the 32. But as Mr Richard Currie said "In a time of war there is no perfection". Lets hope all the good things will happen for Ireland and Jamaica for 2022
@The Faboulous MizMulata I've noticed this is kinda controversial because you have people saying what you stated about the Moors being the original Arabs, yet there's alot of so called Black Americans waking up to who they are regarding the Hebrew Israelites of the Bible. Some Ghanaians who tell me that they're from the Ashanti tribe, they tell me they are descendants of the Hebrew Israelites via Aaron, which is on the contrary to what this Brother is saying that the Africans who were enslaved were the Moors hmmm 🤔.
@@davgar4241 Yes, well there's an obvious connection with Jamaica and Ghana, whether it started out from the very beginning that is debatable, you are entitled to what you believe 🤔.

I was just cussing myself saying I wish I knew more about the maroon. And what they do and why they aren't doing certain things that they could. Thanks for this edification and experience 🥰
Thank you so much! I searched the Maroons because I had a dream. There was a man telling me that the Maroon Spirits have turned against Jamaicans because the Jamaicans are giving away what they (the Maroons) fought so hard for.
I wish I could go Sierra Leone. My dad is 1/4 Maroon. I was told I'm from the Togo's and Bantu tribe also Ivory Coast. I've ancestors in Sierra Leone I just don't know how to investigate it. Good to watch this.
Let us mention, nanny didn't agree with some parts of the peace treaty, example, catching returning runaway slaves to the devil/slave masters, so nanny walkway from the peace treaty, because it was fowl, remember a faction of the maroons caught Paul Bogle, and three finger Jack, the kojo factions, that faction work with the devil
🤔.... Well... Mr. Currie?.... Anyway - 'Straight Outta Africa' - nice to see the native African culture/heritage/traditions alive here in Jamaica today...

That's why I CANNOT understand why some "Jamaicans" and Africans don't get a long. Thank God for my parents who always teach us that we all come from Africa. I'm Jamaican and I love my African & Jamaican family, bottom line is we are all one. Hence our Motto: Out of many, ONE people. God Bless us ALL🙏🏽❤
