Maroons are descendants of Indigenous Americans and "Africans" in the Americas[a] and Islands of the Indian Ocean who resist being enslaved and escaped from "slavery", through fight, flight or manumission, and formed their own settlements. The often mixing of these Africans with varied indigenous peoples, eventually evolves into separate creole cultures[1] such as the later Garifuna and the Mascogos.
