The PPP stands to lose out if this party has influence. I hope his party fails to attract Amerindians. Is D2 going to join this party ?

Why have these Amerindians got English names?

Historically, they were converted to Christianity during colonial era in the various "missions". After that American evangelists got in the act too. This partly accounts for Amerindians speaking better English than many coastlanders. Missionary churches and schools.

That's very odd. They don't have such names in Suriname, which is only next door. They even wear traditional dresses at official functions. I suspect that these bucks have sold out.

In the late 60s, American Nazarene missionaries set up a camping site at Goshen, an Amerindian village in Essequibo. Churchgoers from the coast went annually, mixed with the natives and converted them.

Right now an American Seventh Day Adventist crew is operating in Region 1. It provides schooling, dental and medical services and mercy missions with two small airplanes.

This party will attract many Amerindians.  Lennox Shuman is the real deal. And they will collate with the PPP if need be.  Don’t let that shake hand fool you.
