GLIMPSES of Amazonia’, an exhibition of Amerindian artifacts and books from five countries opened Tuesday, is continuing at the Walter Roth Museum of Anthropology, on Main Street, Georgetown.

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr Frank Anthony declared it open as part of Amerindian Heritage Month 2009 celebrations and called it “a linkage to our brothers.”

Minister in the Ministry of Education, Dr Desrey Fox, who was also present, was fervently praised for her hard work in the museum by Director of Culture, Dr James Rose who encouraged others in attendance to support museums by donating artifacts.

Ms. Eve Williams, daughter of the late anthropologist, Dr Denis Williams, was also there when eight students were awarded certificates in Cultural Anthropology and Archaeology.

The awardees were certified by the Dennis Williams Summer School of Anthropology under the auspices of the University of Guyana.
The recipients were Nicole Cole, Diana Fernandez, Shenisa Miller, Ryan Chabernauth, Jabaun Corriea, Anil Roberts, Rae Smith and Yannick Sobers.
