In Papaïchton, in the heart of the Upper Maroni region, the story of the land is first and foremost told through the people who bring it to life.
A town rich in deeply rooted cultural identity, Papaïchton is a place where skills are passed down from generation to generation. Crafts, pangui making, music, river dances, and traditions punctuate local life, where culture remains a true link between generations.
But Papaïchton is also a gateway to unspoiled nature. Between cultural and natural heritage, the town seeks to build its future by reconciling local development, preserving biodiversity, and promoting its unique identity.
In this new issue of FAWAKA, we meet those who are contributing to this dynamic.
From the town's perspective, a representative from the mayor's office will help us better understand the challenges and ambitions of the region. With Cindy Tingo, head of the Amazonian Park unit in Papaïchton, we explore the richness of this exceptional environment and the challenges of its preservation.
Because tourism can also contribute to showcasing and promoting a region, Indira Djani, head of the West Guiana Tourism Office, tells us about the opportunities offered by Papaïchton and the Upper Maroni River.
Culture is also featured, with music taking center stage. We meet with Cimonard Djaba, from the group Won Ton Mélodie, to discuss creativity, music, and the vibrant culture that continues to resonate throughout the region.
Next, we turn our attention to local crafts with Walter Shedoe, a well-known figure in the Upper Maroni, to discover a skill that is integral to the cultural identity of the community.
Finally, FAWAKA takes us to explore the villages of Loka and Boniville, to get a closer look at the land, its landscapes, and the people who live there.
Finally, we conclude this journey with Irène Difou, the Queen of Pangui, exploring an emblematic craft and a tradition that testifies to the rich heritage passed down in Papaïchton.
Culture, nature, transmission, tourism, music, and know-how: this FAWAKA invites us to discover Papaïchton in a new light, through the voices, gestures, and stories of those who bring the land to life.
