WalkA is the term applied to the Aka-

though it is said that, to particularize 
themselves as a multitude or crowd, they 
used the term Kapohn or Kapong. [In 
British Guiana, about the middle of the 
last century] the localities inhabited by 
the Akawai extended from the Essequibo 
and its tributaries westward and north- 
westward round to the heads of the 
Waini, Barama, and Barima; others 
lived to the eastward, on the upper 
Demerara and Berbice (Br, 277). But
