Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai

While commemorating International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples yesterday, the Ministry of Amerindian Affairs launched the calendar of activities as well as unveiled the theme for Amerindian Heritage Month.

Come September, Amerindian Heritage Month will be celebrated under the theme “Celebrating our traditional culture while building one Guyana.”

The theme, according to Minister Pauline Sukhai, reflects President Irfaan Ali’s vision of creating ‘One Guyana’. She added that indigenous communities should come together in furtherance of this vision as well.
