TRIBAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Historical Background ”The Independence Agreement from the United Kingdom (1965) included a land titling process. Recommendations regarding this process from the Amerindian Lands Commission (1967-1969) have never been fully taken up by successive governments. Requests made for collective district titles have been dismissed, resulting in the fragmentation of traditional territories into small areas under individual village titles. The Preamble to the Constitution of Guyana recognizes “the special place in our nation of the indigenous peoples” and recognizes “their right as citizens to land and security and to their promulgation of policies for their communities”. Guyana endorsed the UNDRIP in 2007. The Ministry of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs reverted to its previous name of “Amerindian Affairs” (MoAA) following the change in ruling party in August 2020.” – The Indigenous World – 2023, p.388 IWGIA
