Ethno-Meteorology of Upper Mazaruni: Uncovering Indigenous Knowledge of the Kapon Akawaio People

Despite ongoing research and interest into indigenous knowledge systems globally, Guyana has yet to draw on the insights of its indigenous peoples. This study describes how the Kapon Akawaio peoples predict and interpret various hydro-meteorological phenomena in Upper Mazaruni; an area with very limited to no access to scientific meteorological information produced by the Guyana Hydro-meteorological Service. The research adopted a mixed methods approach incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods.
