Santa Rosa’s leaders call for correction of flawed land demarcation

Santa Rosa’s leaders yesterday urged authorities to rectify what they say has been the longstanding issue of the improper demarcation of the village’s lands, which continues to stifle development.

Toshao of Santa Rosa Sherwin Abrams, former Toshao Basil Cornelius and Village Council member Graham Atkinson presented the concerns on behalf of Guyana’s largest indigenous village at a press conference at the Amerindian Peoples’ Association (APA) offices.

Toshao Abrams indicated that they have met with Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock and were able to present their findings showing that the demarcation was not properly done.
