As calls for the revision of the Amerindian Act of 2006 continue to be made, the Guyanese Organization of Indigenous Peoples (GOIP) has also weighed in on with its suggestions regarding what the necessary amendments should be.
According to a recent press statement issued by the organization, several suggestions for the amendment of the Amerindian Act of 2006 were discussed at its 17th General Assembly which was held on July 31 at Wakapoa Village in Region Two.
Among them are what the organization called “misnomers” within the Act. These include the phrase “grant of land title” and the use of the word “Amerindian” in the title of the legislation.
