Paloemeu or Palumeu is an Amerindian village in the interior of Suriname, situated at the site where the Paloemeu River joins the Tapanahoni River. Most inhabitants of the village are native Tiriyó Amerindians. The remainder belongs to the Wayana,[2] and Aparai tribes.[3] The Bosatlas in 1968 identified the village as Pepejoe which was incorrect according to the New West Indian Guide.[4]
