In Guyana, the indigenous peoples are referred to as Amerindians, which is a term used to describe the original inhabitants of the Americas. These groups include various tribes such as the Arawaks, Caribs, and Waiwai, among others. While Amerindians are recognized as a distinct cultural and ethnic group, they are not classified as "American Indians" in the strict sense used in the United States, but rather as part of the broader indigenous population of South America.
