Dutch Surinamese

Dutch Surinamese are Surinamese people of Dutch descent.
Dutch migrants and settlers in search of a better life and economic opportunity started arriving in Suriname in the 19th century with the boeroes, poor farmers arriving from the Dutch provinces of Gelderland, Utrecht, and Groningen. Furthermore, the Surinamese ethnic group, the Creoles, persons of mixed African and European ancestry, are also mostly partially of Dutch descent.
Many Dutch settlers left Suriname after independence in 1975, diminishing Suriname's Dutch population. Currently there are around 1,000 boeroes, or more left in Suriname, and 3,000 outside Suriname. Inside Suriname, they work in several sectors of society. Some families still work in the agricultural sector. Most of which has been owned by the said families since the colonial days of Suriname.
