Michael Thomas, 35, Indigenous People’s activist, guitarist and dancer, is the toshao of Aishalton Village in the South Rupununi, chairman of the South Rupununi Development Council (SRDC) and an executive member of the National Toshaos Council (NTC), things he never dreamed of becoming.
“My early childhood days or my family background didn’t reflect anything about who I am today. My parents were never leaders in my village. But growing up and in school, I was always the top student, especially in my secondary school life. I was also elected head prefect at Aishalton Secondary.”
