Principle 11: USE EDGES AND VALUE THE MARGINAL
‘Don’t think you are on the right track just because it is a well-beaten path’
On March 2, 2025 we visited the Moore Town Maroons in the highlands of eastern Jamaica. Colonel Sterling welcomed us at the town museum and provided a brief history before heading up to his home for soup.
We then hiked up to Nanny Falls where we briefly swam under the falls
Lunch was then served to us as we enjoyed music from community members playing drums, singing, and dancing. While some may view the Moore Town Maroons as an isolated community, it was very apparent after our visit that the community is thriving while continuing to celebrate their heritage.
