"Throughout West African history, even in sources dating to medieval Africa, forests and groves have played a unique role in West African statecraft and public healing. They were the places where the ill could convalesce, they were the places where political, diplomatic, and military strategizing and transformation in the wake of epidemics unfolded, where herbal medicines were cultivated, and the sites of crucial spiritual geographies of health and ecological balance. In Caribbean and American forests, Black maroons, like their African ancestors, cultivated healing herbs and established sustainable ecological, spiritual, labor, and political practices to preserve the health and well-being of their communities. Thus, the maroons’ decision to flee into the forest encompassed the political and public healing dimensions of African praxes of sustainable world-making to promote collective well-being.

Maroon leaders who were also eminent spiritual practitioners and healers, and their legacies persist through the modern era. 18th-century Black political leaders in the Caribbean, including Mackandal in Saint Domingue and Queen Nanny and Three-Fingered Jack in Jamaica, were well known as healers and ritual practitioners in addition to being insurgents."
