notes:
Now considered an indigenous people, the original Maroons were mostly freed or runaway slaves who were freed when the Spanish left Jamaica upon the arrival of the British in 1655. Under Captain Cudjoe [or Kojo], they fought the first Maroon war against the English which sporadically continued until the Treaty of 1738. In 1738, near what is today called the Peace Cave and under the "Kindah One Family" tree, Cudjoe and the British representative, Colonel Guthrie, signed a treaty (and exchanged hats as a sign of friendship) which lasted for more than 50 years. This treaty made the Maroons the first nation/people to be granted independence from a colonizing European power and inspired the Haitian revolution.
