80 Zeitschrift für Ethnologie 119 (1994) this time, she reports, that print materials went off the market because of World War L which cut off the imports of dyes from Germany. Using single colored cloth, the modern Seminole patchworks were meant to imitate the printed patterns available to them before the early twentieth century. The second hypothesis, which seems to me less plausible than the first, postulates that “the idea of banded colors was suggested to the Seminole by the liguus snail, a very colorful tree snail which inhabits south Florida and parts of the Caribbean" (Davis 1955: 980). The appliqué production technique of the Seminoles is a specialized, complicated. and unique process. Though the finished product may resemble old-fashioned Euro- American patchwork quilts, which typically are built up from small individual pieces of cloth, the production of Seminole patchworks is very different. Seminole patchworks are produced in the following manner: Three narrow strips of cloth, each a different pattern or color, are sewn together lengthwise to produce a three-color band of cloth about four inches wide. This band is cut into small sections, which are then resewn in such a manner that like colors do not go back together. The excess fabric resulting from this type of combination is trimmed off, and three compatible colors, each one half to one inch wide, are sewn on both sides of the band, usually two above and one below. The bands are then integrated with garments and sewn into place. Saramaka Cloth Between the mid seventeenth and late eighteenth centuries, the ancestors of the present- day Saramaka Maroons escaped from the Dutch-owned sugar, timber, and coffee plantations on which they were enslaved. Both individually and in groups, escaped slaves fled into the vast, densely forested interior of Suriname, a Dutch colony i? northeastern South America that gained its independence in 1975 (R. Price 19854; 1983b). After escaping from the plantations, the slaves regrouped into small bands and created societies known by Europeans as Maroon societies. Today, there are si* Maroon tribes in the Republic of Suriname: Djuka, Saramaka, Matawai, Aluku Paramaka, and Kwinti (S. Price 1984). This article will concentrate on the textile art$ of the Saramaka who, as a result of careful field and archival research by anthropologists Richard and Sally Price, are the best known and documented Maroon tribe in Suriname From the 1670s onward, the Saramaka (who today number approximately 20,000) have been at once fiercely isolated from other societies and heavily dependent of contact with the outside world. Before 1762, the Saramaka were almost continually af war with the Dutch. Large plantation owners financed huge military expeditions into the rain forest in an attempt to exterminate Maroons.* The Saramaka retreated furthef and further, coming out of the forest only occasionally in order to raid plantations fof material supplies and to recruit more runaways.
