As a Guyanese and an advocate for the PPP and one making declarative statements ie "Amerindians do not forget how much they were abandoned under the PNC, and they know that PPP/C has been making every effort to look out for their needs", you shoud not then take refuge in conditional statements ie "If this is true.."quote:Originally posted by Catherine:
If this is true, this is not right. But let us look at the difference between residential land and land for business development. Any info. would be helpful.
There is no question, more needs to be done for the first nations people of Guyana.
You should know to what you refer and have come to an independent conclusion as the the status of the issue at hand. The PNC and the PPP pursued a program of aggressive wardship, indirect rule and assimilation of amerind peoples. They reduced the conditions for the founding of the state of Guyana with respect to Amerinds to conditions to be met by Amerindians with respect to the state. The act of 1951, and all that superseded it has been reduced to a obfuscating tome that has native peoples at the boot of the administration. And soulless amerinds like Pearson and my cousins in government need to go back to the bush and do penance.
