Uncle Simon, tell us more about working at Correia Farms in Timehri then Atkinson Field. My relative used to be the foreman of the operation there. I assume you used to walk the old trail from the Dakota Circuit to the Mission on week ends. Can you remember Capt Schuman and some Policeman from Timehri shot about 15 Labba and three deers in the River one wek-end and left half with the Mission. That was me, who shot most of the labba and one deer with an old guy named Como who they say had seven wives. Well those were the good times when everybody used flour bag shirts, pants and dresses. Remember the Fowl Kock brand from Canada.That was the best. I heard that you were Capt once but I never met. you. Schuman was great. Heard that he lives in Canada. Do you know that a section of your people was living at the Loom Pit in the 30"s. and they were transferred by the American Soldiers in 1939 when they started to build the Military Base at Atkinson field. I only remember an old lady by the name of Annie Pulmere .She was one hundred years old and used to tell us stories about the mission.They were about fifty persons altogether. They lived by the Yarrowkabra creek . Now some is in Laluni while others remain at Madeweni.. Your grand daughter Hana is doing great for herself. Tell her how people used to make Sand Bake in those days to eat a piece of Sada Roti because utensils were not around and how they used to keep wild meat underground to keep it cool and fresh. St Cuthbert's Mission produced a lot of good people. I also know of a Katow who used to walk the trail to sell parrots.

Hi Hana. Great show. You can only get better. And teach us all your wonderful way of life. Love it dearly. Your “farm-pharmacy “ show was hilarious. Life is a beautiful thing. And sometimes I kinda envy you. Fortunately, I was from a village just like yours. And i love to see in the mornings when the Dew Drops displayed a million colors. God Bless n keep up the good work.

Ty Hanna for bringing back some of our history, so proud of how far the indigenous people come , amazing 👏 💖 💗 ❤️ 💕 ✨️

[@balitamahes4458]

Very nice story hana👍👍🙏🥰🥰💖💞🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@karishmabudhram9013]

Excellent initiative Hanna. You’re one of our best ambassadors. I hope you have a bigger influence in the future of Guyana. Proud of you 😊❤

[@comedicmood2729]

Hanna i have a technical suggestion: Shoot some B-roll. You can then show that as we hear him talk. Jungle scenes, village life etc. Its a tactic used to keep the viewer interested rather than just have to watch the person talk

[@campers4440]

Great, Luv the stories. Maybe subtitles?

[@hanafromguyanalifeonthefar4385]

Working on it

Hey Hana, i get the purpose of the video, but can you add subtitles in please? I didn't get much of what was said because of the accent. U can add subtitles even though the video is up already, thank u.
