The Barama River Carib are a small group of indigenous people located in the North West District of Guyana. Prior to the establishment of gold mining companies in the area in 1930s, they lived in small and semi-permanent settlements widely scattered along the tropical rain forest. Over the years since then, Barama River Carib have undergone significant demographic and economic changes as they were integrated into regional markets and the Guyanese nation.
