Katoonarib (short for Katoonaru Iribi[1]) is a village in the Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo Region of Guyana. Katoonarib is inhabited by Wapishana, Macushi and other Amerindians.[2] It is located near the Rupununi River.[3] The main language spoken in the village is Wapishana with English as secondary language.[2]
Overview
The name of the village translates to Bush Island. Katoonarib used to be a satellite of Sawariwau, but has set up its own traditional government.[1] The economy is based on subsistence farming and cattle ranching. The village has a primary school, a health centre, and a community centre.[2] Internet connection is provided via free Wi-Fi.[4] Water is supplied by wells.[5] There is no electricity other than private diesel generators and solar panels.[6]
Transport
Katoonarib can be reached by road from Lethem. A bridge over the Rupununi River was commissioned in 2004.[7] On 27 May 2008, the bridge collapsed under the weight of an excavator.[3]
