Kabakaburi


Kabakaburi is an Amerindian village in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region of Guyana on the Pomeroon River, from its mouth, claimed by Venezuela as part of Delta Amacuro state, who is localizated in the Guayana Esequiba.
The villagers are mostly Arawak and Carib. Many of them work in the area's logging and mining industries.
The name of the village is Arawak for "the place with the itching bush." The "bush" referred to is a wild arum having irritating juice. The Arawak named this plant "jotoro", and named the place where it grew "kabo kabura." Over time, this became Kabakaburi.
A new library, located in the Kabakaburi Primary School, was created in 2002.
