The government/UNDP agreement for the US$10.7M Amerindian land titling project came under protest yesterday by dozens of Amerindians led by the Amerindian People’s Association (APA), which says the recognition of the use of some traditional lands is still to be resolved.
Amerindian protestors turned up at the Guyana International Conference Centre, which is the venue for the ongoing 7th annual National Toshaos Council (NTC) meeting, to protest the agreement while also lending support to toshaos seeking to have concerns adequately addressed.
The close to 50 protestors carried placards, some of which read: ‘Allow our Toshaos to speak freely without intimidation,’
