Lebidoti (Dutch: Lebidotie) is a village in Suriname with a population of about 1,000 and two nearby villages of Bakoe and Pitean. The people are of Maroon[1] descent, specifically the Aukan tribe, and moved to this specific location when the building of the Afobaka dam created the Brokopondo Reservoir.[2]
