Imbotero is a village of indigenous Warrau people in Guyana’s extreme northwest, and its physical and human geographies form the basis of its cultural landscape. The community is in the midst of a mangrove swamp that covers thousands of square kilometers of the Atlantic coast in Guyana and neighboring Venezuela. Although almost everyone in Imbotero is Warrau, a significant portion are not Guyanese, but rather Warrau migrants from Venezuela. Land in the village is below mean high tide and perpetually wet, and mobility there depends upon boats, especially dugout canoes, while Imbotero Creek and the Barima River serve as transportation infrastructure. Less than a day’s travel by canoe from Imbotero are the twin villages of Kumaka and Mabaruma which, as the region’s administrative and commercial hub, represent a significant feature in Imbotero’s economic and cultural landscapes. Imbotero has a mixed, land-and-resource-based economy in which the traditional activities of small-plot agriculture, artisanal fishing, and the gathering of forest products are practiced for subsistence and, to a lesser, extent, commercially.
