September was an eventful month. The air was filled with jubilation but also tragedy and mourning.
September 1st marked the beginning of Amerindian Heritage month. The theme this year was “Celebrating Our Traditional Culture While Building One Guyana.”
Some may say that traditional cultures are slowly dying. Is this to our advantage or disadvantage? Does the disappearance of traditional cultures which separates us into six peoples move us closer to this ‘One Guyana’? Or does it make each group weaker as less knowledge of self, results in a weaker collective?
