The story

Annai Heritage Day in Annai

Annai's September Amerindian Heritage Day observance in the North Rupununi, Guyana, featuring traditional Makushi dance, craft and storytelling as the village's local expression of the national Amerindian Heritage Month, centered on Annai Central near Bina Hill and its cluster of satellite settlements in the savanna.

Annai sits at 95 metres altitude where the Rupununi savannah meets the foothills of the Pakaraima Mountains, one of the northernmost Makushi villages in the North Rupununi and mother community to four surrounding settlements, and each September it takes part in Guyana's Amerindian Heritage Month with its own local Heritage Day observance.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As mother village to four satellite communities and neighbor to Bina Hill, the North Rupununi's de facto administrative hub, Annai's Heritage Day programming often coordinates across a small cluster of villages rather than standing alone as a single-settlement event, drawing on the area's radio station and shared administrative infrastructure to reach communities spread across the savanna
