Today we will find if our boys are ready to become young warriors. First lets ask the questions!
Uriah, the first question will go to you
My fellow Maroons, Greeting!
Johnny, Why did the King of Spain give us this golden band
*Applause*
The Maroons are people who fight for the freedom of slavery
Tommy, Why do maroons live in the mountains
In times of War, were like the trees of the forests. Our warriors clothe themselves with branches of the tree so the redcoats cannot see them
In...Accompong, I-n Trel-awny Town, In.. in.... Nanny Town , In Mountain Top
in... the....mountains
Because we showed that we are true Jamaicans. We fought for our country, it was given to us in the yesr 1655
*Applause*
David, tell us what happened in the year 1655
Charlie, Where do the Maroons live
Where in the mountains?
To-to always obey the Chief and his Council and never to stray beyond our scouts. We should obey the Chief and Council because they make the law . No people or nation can become unless they obey the law.
Because although our village is in a secret place among the mountains, the Redcoats are always searching for us. And so, night and day, our scouts are always in poisition. They are always ready to warn us if the Redcoats should appear.
In-in that year, the English conquered the island from the Spanish . When the Spanish fled , the English became the new rulers of Jamaica. But the Maroons were never defeated and they never left the island. So we are the True Jamaicans.
Brothers and sisters, the questioning is over! Next are the contest
And why should you never stray beyond our scouts?
Charlie, What are the duties of a Maroon who lives in Mountain Top
