Aluku is a Bushinengue ethnic group living mainly on the riverbank in Maripasoula in southwest French Guiana. The group is sometimes called ''Boni'', referring to a notorious leader, Bokilifu Boni (described as a former mulatto slave). == History == The ''Aluku'' is a legendary ethnic group in French Guiana whose people are descended in part from African slaves who escaped in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries from the Dutch plantations in what is now known as Suriname. Toward the end of the eighteenth century, they settled alongside the riverbanks of Lawa Maroni, which now forms the border between French Guiana and Suriname. There were at least two other groups of escaped Africans in the area, ''Saramaka people'' and the ''Ndyuka people'', who eventually assimilated with the ''Aluku'' to form a new ethnic group. In the late eighteenth century, the ''Aluku'' occupied the region of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, Apatou, Grand-Santi; the largest piece of the territory still occupied is called ''Fochi-ké'' (First Cry), better known as ''Aluku'', located in the region of Maripasoula, consisting of: * the municipalities and city of Maripasoula and the capital city of Papaïchton, and the traditional villages of Kormontibo, Assissi, Loca, Tabiki, and Agoodé, in French Guiana; * Cottica, in Suriname. There is also a very large ''Aluku'' population in Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, Cayenne, Matoury, and Kourou. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aluku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
