The Arawak village of Wakapau is located in the Pomeroon-Supenaam Region of Guyana, on the Wakapau River, a tributary on the west bank of the Pomeroon River, 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from its mouth, located at 07°31′N 58°48′W / 7.517°N 58.800°W / 7.517; -58.800. The village is one of the best examples of an Amerindian community that has not only preserved the traditional Arawak culture, but also retained its tribal language.
