ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Granman

Okay kiddo, so a granman is a leader or ruler of a group of people in the country of Suriname. It's like a king or queen but for a smaller group of people. The word "granman" actually means "big man" in the language of the indigenous people of Suriname, who have their own traditions and way of living. The granman is responsible for making important decisions for the group, like where to hunt for food or how to manage resources. They also play an important role in maintaining the customs and culture of their people. So, kind of like a leader of a tribe that helps keep things organized and running smoothly!
