🪶 Indigenous knowledge is more than tradition—it reflects generations of learning about the land, forests and natural resources.

From navigating waterways and processing cassava to hunting, fishing and traditional craftsmanship, these skills continue to be passed from one generation to the next.

This , we honour knowledge that has travelled across generations and, in some cases, changed the world.

Long before curare entered Western laboratories and operating rooms, Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon Basin had developed sophisticated knowledge of the plants used to prepare it for hunting. That knowledge later helped inform medicines that transformed anaesthesia and surgery.

The story of curare is also a reminder that some of humanity’s most important scientific advances are rooted in Indigenous observation, experimentation and deep relationships with biodiversity, contributions that history has too often overlooked.

As we celebrate Guyana’s Indigenous Peoples, we recognise that Indigenous knowledge is not simply part of the past. It is a living body of knowledge that continues to shape how we understand nature, health and our world.
