2. The concepts of 'acculturation', in both senses, do remain useful in social science so long as their limitations are recognised, and are employed, with this reservation, on several occasions in this text.
3. Several legitimate spellings of this word exist, and modern literature includes all the alternatives Wapisana, Wapisiana, Wapishiana and Wapixiana. In addition, Farabee [1918: 13 fn.1] lists several altenative spellings, most of which seem to be obsolete: Wapityans, Wapsichana, Wabijanas, Mapisianas, Uabixanas, Uapixianas, Uapichanas, Vapeschanas. The usage of 'Wapishana' in the present document is based upon what appears to be standard practice in the recent Guyanese literature (eg. Forte [1990], ARU [1992]).
