They are the First Nations of the territories they live on, all governments claim them as their own, but what they're really after is ownership of their land and resources.

Very nice

[@Medinoandre]

Thanks!

[@lorettanarain445]

They were called Whapisiana Tribe.Why the name change?

[@Medinoandre]

Time changed .. Decolonizing names given by colonizers..👌

[@campers4440]

Nice. Please learn about the plants and medicines and how to use them from the elders, And we would like to know what you learn. Is there a bush that glows in the dark? Thanks.

[@Medinoandre]

Lol. You sounded like if Iam not Indigenous too. Before coming to work in South Rupununi. I knew of the plants , medicine etc in Moruca where I am from. I was brought up by grandparents and they taught me a lot about culture and traditions etc.. What do you mean about 'a bush that glows in the dark?" Hope you can tell that to Non-Indigenous people as well 😄

[@sistemasavanzados1595]

Very nice remember they are also Venezuelans

[@Medinoandre]

I think you are wrong. Indigenous People lived and occupied these lands even before national states like Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana exited. So they are original inhabitants of area.

[@Medinoandre]

I am sorry. They are not. We are Guyanese. Don't come with such talk. Essequibo, is WE OWN.
