  • ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North
    Running head: ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs: Makushi Amerindians’ Perceptions of Environmental Education and Positive Youth Development in Guyana Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Presented to the Faculty of Education University of Ottawa 20 June 2016 Ph.D. Candidate: Julie Comber Director: Dr. Bernard W. Andrews Thesis Committee Members: Dr. Richard Maclure Dr. Nicholas Ng-A-Fook Dr. Giuliano Reis External Examiner: Dr. Lisa Taylor ©Julie Comber, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ENVIRONMENTAL CLUBS MAKUSHI YOUTH II Abstract This doctoral research studied the North Rupununi Wildlife Clubs (NRWC), an Environmental Education (EE) Program for Makushi Amerindian youth in Guyana. The Club format for EE has become popular, and previous research on EE Club programs provide modest support for the hypothesis that EE Club membership increases pro-environmental attitudes and behaviour in children and youth. There is also increasing interest in the role EE Clubs can play in nurturing Positive Youth Development (PYD). This multi-site case study describes EE Clubs in three villages in the North Rupununi of Guyana. Data was collected from semi-structured interviews and focus groups with stakeholders (such as former Club members, volunteers with the Clubs, Elders, and village leaders). The researcher also kept a reflective journal. Findings suggest community members valued the positive impact they perceived participation in NRWC to have on youth and upon their community. Participants offered recommendations on how to improve the program. One of the original findings is that the Clubs may be a way to help reconnect indigenous youth with their elders and restore the transmission of Indigenous Knowledge.

    February 15, 2004 The Abaconian Page RM VOLUME 12, NUMBER 7, APRIL 1st, 2004 Prime Minister Speaks to Chamber Plans Are Discussed to Support Abaco’s Growth By Stephanie Humblestone “I have come today to confirm that we in PM Christie Opens Basketball Court Central Government have accorded a high priority to the concerns of Abaco and that we are endeavoring to deal systematically with the challenges and opportunities which growth now brings to this island,” said the Rt. Hon. Perry Christie, Prime Minister, addressing some 200 guests at a luncheon on March 18, hosted by the Abaco Cham- ber of Commerce and held at Abaco Beach Resort. He described Abaco, from Crown Ha- ven to Sandy Point and the offshore cays, as “primed” for economic growth but, he reminded everyone, “We are only as strong as our weakest link.” He urged that the dis- advantaged be identified and helped. The Prime Minister commented that The Bahamas covers an area of 100,000 square miles with only a few populated islands. Central government is constantly challenged by this fact because it has to duplicate infra- structure on each of these islands. Placing safety and security as high priorities, he stated that three new police stations have opened, in Crown Haven, Treasure Cay and Moore’s Island. Mr. Christie felt that Abaco has an un- limited potential for growth. The island has a very strong heritage with the United States and a close connection with Florida. With The Rt. Hon. Perry Christie visited the Every Child Counts school in Marsh Harbour and toured the facility.
