Historic sites of Guyana

The Amerindian Heroes Monument is located in Santa Rosa Mission, Moruca, Essequibo. Inscribed on the monument are the names of several Amerindian residents who have made invaluable contributions to the community. They include Stephen Campbell, the first Amerindian parliamentarian, John Ferreira, Rosa Atkinson, Anne Prince, Vincent Ferreira, Nash Rodrigues and Basil James who was another member of Parliament. The monument is the brainchild of Basil Rodrigues, a retired schoolteacher. It was completed by self-help in 1995.
