History

The history of Guyana begins about 35,000 years ago with the arrival of humans coming from Eurasia. These migrants became the Kalina and Lokono tribes, who met Alonso de Ojeda's first expedition from Spain in 1499 at the Essequibo River. In the ensuing colonial era, Guyana's government was defined by the successive policies of the French, Dutch, and British settlers.
