"Amerindian Legends of Guyana" is a collection of twenty stories of the Amerindians, the first people to inhabit the South American country of Guyana. These legends tell of the deeds of folk heroes and give the reader a clear understanding of the myths, traditions and folklore surrounding the lives of these proud people. The Amerindians, whose ancestors began living in Guyana over 11,000 years ago, comprise roughly five percent of the Guyanese population and they live mainly in the forest and savannah regions of the interior of the country.
