World Calendar Day
Looking Back at 1800 Day
The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.
Regional/Cultural Day
Amerindian Heritage Month
The entire month of September is dedicated to Guyana's first peoples. Schools teach Amerindian history, cultural villages hold open days, and the capital hosts exhibitions of Amerindian art, craft, and food. The cassava bread alone is worth the trip.
Regional/Cultural Day
Amerindian Heritage Month Opening
September is officially Amerindian Heritage Month, but the Wapishana, Macushi, and Patamona communities start preparations in March for the annual pageant and cultural events that showcase their languages, crafts, and food.
