In Guyana, one of the six races identifies is the Amerindians or indigenous people. The month of September is deemed Indigenous month where the communities of the Amerindian (and the rest of Guyana) celebrate their culture. Almost all communities will host Heritage days where visitors and local villagers come together to watch performances of traditional dances and poems, do traditional crafts and sports (basket weaving and archery) , and eating local foods. Living in a Amerindian village, I get to see the love of these peoples culture not only at this day event but all while preparing for the day as well as the schools culture day where the children get to express their culture together.
