The Umana Yana, an 80-day project led by the Wai-Wai In 1972, in Georgetown, Guyana, about sixty Wai-Wai artisans arrived from the interior of the country for an unusual project. The Wai-Wai people normally live in the far south of the Rupununi savanna, hundreds of kilometers from the capital, far from the narrow coastal strip where the majority of Guyana’s population is concentrated.
