Interesting!

I've always took Maroon to mean of Black & Indian descent. Here it says it means:

NOUN:

  1. often Maroon
    1. A fugitive Black slave in the West Indies in the 17th and 18th centuries.
    2. A descendant of such a slave.
  2. A person who is marooned, as on an island.

instead of whatever you are looking at.

Good luck.
