166. Travel Guyana:(Guyana Overview) Short introduction to this land of tumbling rivers and dense rainforests. http://www.interknowledge.com/guyana/

Kaieteur Falls The tumbling rivers and dense rainforests of Guyana are filled with extraordinary natural sights. Kaieteur Falls, where the 400-foot wide Potaro River plunges 822 feet downward from the Pakaraima Plateau, is the world's longest single-drop waterfalls. G uyana, a country of exceptional natural beauty, is a splendid combination of the Caribbean and South America, with fascinating touches of a sometimes turbulent past. Perched on the north-east corner of the South American continent, Guyana stretches 450 miles from its long Atlantic coastline into dense equatorial forest and the broad savannah of the Rupununi. T he picturesque capital and primary port is Georgetown, a city of comfortable, modern hotels, fine colonial buildings, and broad, tree-lined boulevards. The striking wooden architecture is reminiscent of Guyana's centuries as a Dutch, and then a British colony. Georgetown offers an evocative introduction to the land of Guyana. Don't miss the imposing St. George's Cathedral, reputed to be the tallest wooden building in the world. L ife in Guyana is dominated by mighty rivers, including the Demerara, the Berbice and the Essequibo, which provide essential highways into the rain forests and jungles of the interior. Mankind has made little impact here, and today Guyana remains one of the world's most exciting destinations for adventuresome travel and exploration.

167. UNDP (Guyana) National Report On Indigenous Peoples And Development This report by Jorg Vereecke, Associate Expert on Indigenous People at the United Nations Development Program office in guyana, covers living conditions, access to resources, environmental issues, management and business development. http://www.sdnp.org.gy/undp-docs/nripd/

UNDP - Associate Expert on Indigenous People (Main body of report converted to HTML by SDNP Guyana, 1999) Guyana, located in the northeast of South America, is a rather small multiracial and English-speaking country. The approximately 740,000 people living in the country is made up out of Amerindians (5.3 %), Blacks (30.5 %), East Indians (51.4 %), Chinese (0.2 %), White (2.1 %), and Mixed (10 %). During the last decade, popula- tion figures have been declining due to the out-migration of Guyanese for economic reasons, mainly to the United States of America. There are 4 natural regions : For administrative purposes, Guyana is divided into 10 regions : Guyana is also known as "the land of many waters", because of the many rivers in the country. Most regional boundaries are following the natural features of rivers. The name "Indigenous People" is an alien term for Guyanese to the extent that almost everybody, indigenous persons included, speak about the "Amerindians". Originally, the Guyana Shield counted many more tribes as in today's situation. Scientists like W. Edwards, found proof that the Amerindian occupation of Guyana goes back as far as 12,000 years. But since early colonization many peoples, among which the Maiongkongs, the Maopityans, the Drios, Tarumas, Amaripas and Pianoghottos, disappeared or assimilated with the mainstream of Guyanese society. In today's Guyana, there still exist nine indigenous tribes living scattered all over the Country. These are the Akawaio (3,800), Arekuna (475), Arawak (15,000), Macushi (Braz. Macuxi - 7,000), Wapishanas (6,000), Patamuna (4,700), Waiwai (198), Warrau (4,700) and Carib (2,700). They belong to three different linguistic groups : the Arawakan, the Cariban and the Warrauan. There are also a few members of other tribes in Guyana (Trio, Atorad, Taruma). In most cases, these people immigrated from neighboring countries and settled in Guyana, as in the case of the Trio at Cashew Island in the vicinity of the Rio Novo.

168. Guyanese Outreach Guyanese Outreach (GO) is a Christian based humanitarian nonprofit organization that provides assistance for the less fortunate in guyana, South America. http://www.exodusdesign.com/go/

Guyanese Outreach Our evangelism activities are focused on strengthen existing churches in Guyana. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we help to build and expand churches, empower pastors and elders, and support programs such as Kids Church and Christian based counseling. We welcome all with a heart and desire to help our brothers and sisters in Guyana . We plan to continue to send aid, teach job skills, and spread the Word. For the year 2003, our goal is to help our native and indigenous Amerindian brothers and sisters deep in the remote Northwest jungle of Guyana. Welcome to the Guyanese Outreach Website! Guyanese Outreach (GO) is a Christian based humanitarian nonprofit organization that provides assistance for the less fortunate in Guyana, South America. Our mission is to "work with the Guyanese people to strengthen, value, and enhance their own culture by assisting them to meet spiritual and physical needs." One of our operating principles is that if a man is hungry, he should be fed. However, if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. Hence, GO operates two simultaneous community outreach programs: immediate relief from poverty and teaching real job skills. The latter of which provides life-time job skills to help reduce systemic poverty.

177. Guyanese Politics An indepth look at causes and effects of the colonial legacy with respect to guyana's political landscape, both past and present. http://student-www.uchicago.edu/~rts1/guyanese.htm

Raymond T. Smith Go To Site Map Introduction: An Unlikely Story The present-day Republic of Guyana is an insignificant remnant of the old British Empire, the only possession Britain ever held on the mainland of South America, uneasily resting between Venezuela and Brazil and adjoining two other fragments of European colonial empires, Suriname and Cayenne, erstwhile possessions of Holland and France respectively. Guyana has no great economic or strategic value. Most of its 83,000 square miles is uninhabited forest and infertile savannah, and its population of less than 800,000 is little, if any, better-off today that it was when Guyana became independent in 1966. Why then, should its recent political history be of any but local interest? Because it became an obsession of the United States during the Cold War and illustrates in a particularly vivid way the manner in which the State Department forced its views upon a reluctant British Government, distorting the social and political development of the country. The officials of the United States government were not the only ones with a warped view of the importance of this small country; Guyanese leaders also had grandiose illusions of their own importance as players on the world stage.
