Future Guyanese Filmmaker here, I've been compiling a list of shooting locations based on these videos. Thank you for this.

[@rosedookie2760]

Great idea

[@rosedookie2760]

I just found your video and sub, thank you for sharing this beautiful video, you did an excellent job showing our beautiful Guyana

[@LeanafromGuyana]

Thank you so much! And you're welcome...

Informative and beautiful. Thank you.

Wow, beautiful Kamarang! We hope that private companies and the national government through the Ministry of Tourism, invest in the development of Upper Mazaruni, such as: Kamarang, Jawalla, Paruima, Phillipai, Opadai, etc. so that tourism is an economic option in these wonderful communities Amerindians of Region 7. ✌

Hi Leane. Thanks for show casing Kamarang. A place I heard of but through your lenses we can see it. Hopefully in time ,these areas can become more easily accessible to reach. Roads sea and air transport readily available and cost effective when we visit from abroad. Keep posting. Many thanks.

Hi, I live in Suriname and I have been to Guyana a few times. Just wondering, do the Amerindian speak a native language also or only English? One big difference that we have here in Suriname compared to Guyana is that here a lot of people still speak their native language only. So there are 2 or 3 native Amerindian languages, the maroon have 3 languages and others have their own languages. So even though Dutch is our main language a lot of people still don't speak it. Nice video and nice places to visit.

[@LeanafromGuyana]

Hey, thanks for watching! Yes many of the Amerindians here still speak their native language and like Suriname, there is more than one dialect, it depends on the tribe. And similarly, they speak their language among themselves and English when their talking to people outside the community. Thanks for sharing about Suriname too. Very interesting

[@j.l.1391]

Thank you for this video. Never heard of these places before.

[@neshawilliams8431]

I know this place all too well I am actually from waramadong a neighboring village to kamarang.

[@LeanafromGuyana]

Oh really! Nice. Yes, I heard about the village but we didn't get to go there. The Toshao from Jawalla was telling me the kids go to secondary school there.

[@neshawilliams8431]

@@LeanafromGuyana yes that's right

[@TheImperfectVlogger]

I love these so much! Quick questions: why did the electricity shut off? How long does it shut off for? And did you figure out what the toucan was eating?

[@LeanafromGuyana]

Thanks for watching Hun! The electricity came off because it's being supplied by solar panels, which need to be recharged by the sunlight. It's usually off all day until like 5 or 6pm when it starts to get dark. Regarding the Toucan, unfortunately no lol.

[@badewattisomwaru5371]

I also visit quebanang I don't know if I got the spelling right lovely place to visit and friendly people

[@badewattisomwaru5371]

I visit this village in the late 1990 the people are very friendly

[@RonDAvilar]

I always wondered howcome folks in extremely remote areas have the standard Guyana accent with good pronunciation etc, yet right on the coast in 'country areas' that are far more connected people speak more broken creoles english. That's interesting.

[@LeanafromGuyana]

That's a good observation. I guess it has nothing to do with geographic location and everything to do with whom you grew up among. Amerindians have their own indigenous accent if you listen carefully though.

[@ramishrambarran3998]

Thanks for this video again Leana. Guyana is truly a beautiful country, but I fear the impact of development will eventually spoil this. The gold industry will pollute the river with mercury, making the fish inedible, dangerous to the inhabitants who dare eat ! The toucan seems accustomed to being fed. The government should help villages like these diversify in agricultural products, rather than heavily depending on cassava. Regards. Trindad & Tobago.

Very nice ❤💯🇬🇾👌👍🏽🙏🇬🇾🇬🇾💯

Kamarang river is now brown? Wow

[@manzoorbaksh7171]

I over night at kamarang on my way to kaikan I had to take a next plane

[@KendaBeatMaker]

So I was born in Kamarang 😀

[@LeanafromGuyana]

That's so cool! To have experienced hinterland and city life..

[@wazeedali9673]

Because she said “Amerindian “ village I became interested otherwise I would just scroll past.

[@leung619]

It's just an interior village. When you go to an Indian or African village in Guyana do you say I'm going to an Indian Village? Or an African village? Why do you feel the need to highlight Amerindian village?
