The Akuriyo of Surinam are a Carib speaking population which numbers at the moment about 60. Until 1970 they knew a completely nomadic way of life, hunting and gathering in the forests of Southeast Surinam, on the Oelemari, Litani and Loe rivers, or rather on the smaller tributary creeks. Occasionally some of them drifted into Brazil (Paru river area).
