Maroons were Africans and their descendants in the Americas who formed settlements away from New World chattel slavery. Some had escaped from plantations, but others had always been free, like those born among them in freedom. They often mixed with indigenous peoples, thus creating distinctive creole cultures.
The fact that the author does not appear to explain what a Maroon is, tells me that author is a bit of a "maroon" -- as Bugs Bunny would say.

If more than 45 seconds would have been taken, this would have been noticed:
“The Maroons where escaped slaves, who make their way toward uninhabited parts of the island.”
“The rest is history. Except for one thing. The Maroons. The Maroons were escaped slaves, who made their way toward uninhabited parts of the island.”
Reading is fundamental
