Five more Indigenous communities, Kangaruma and Tasserene, in Region Seven, Yupukari, in Region Nine, and St. Monica and Mainstay/Whyaka, in Region Two, received their certificates of titles for their lands yesterday, according to the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI).
The DPI, in a report, said that the documents were handed over on the final day of the 13th conference of the National Toshaos Council (NTC) at the Arthur Chung Confer-ence Centre in the presence of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock, Minister within the Minis-try of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Valerie Garrido-Lowe and Minister of State Dawn-Hastings Williams.
The report noted that the communities have been waiting years for their grants of titles to move forward with their development.
