Artifacts from the Amerindians of the Pomeroon River, Guyana:

Clockwise: basket, hammock, canoe, stone cassava grater.  These items were brought to the Carib Centre by visting delegations of Guyanese Amerindians starting with Carifesta in 1992.  Delegations from Guyana have also stayed in the Carib Centre to teach weaving to the members.  The canoe shown above is ornamental.
