Abunasunga
Abunasunga or Abouna Sounga, also known as Lensidede or Lessé Dédé, is a Wayana village on an island in the Lawa River.History
The Lawa River forms the border between Suriname and French Guiana, and islands are ambiguous. In 1860, the Ndyuka signed a peace treaty with the Aluku, and allowed them to settle in Abunasunga. The Aluku had chosen French citizenship, and therefore Abunasunga is a French village.
Abunasunga was founded by Wayana chief Kanailu, who left the village of Kawemhakan after a conflict with granman Anapaikë about the influence of the Baptist mission on Wayana life in Kawemhakan. Abunasunga is unique among Wayana villages in that it lies in the territory inhabited by Aluku.
