The Kaieteur News reporter spelled that word incorrectly.
I've always been careful about spelling words correctly, from primary school days.
To confirm the correct spelling, check the International Movie DataBase entry below. Also, note that Operation Makonaima premiered in Holland two years after its Guyana premiere.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0950707/
The producer was a Surinamese, but most of the cast were Guyanese. Farrier's script was based on A.J. Seymour's poem The Legend of Kaieteur.

I actually had a part in that movie. Malcolm pulled me in and I had a couple of fight scenes, and a bar scene at Pegasus with a young lady.
It did make me popular with girls I must admit.

Django, I will give you one-third of a point.
That building was officially called The Assembly Rooms.
It housed the Georgetown Club.
It was not on Camp Street.
It stood on the exact same spot where Bank of Guyana is now.
It was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1945.
The Assembly Rooms was the national cultural centre of that era. Mostly big shots attended its concerts, plays, vaudeville shows, balls, etc.
With google search you can find info of images

It later became the Royal Bank of Canada and is today called Republic Bank.

In Berbice, Governor von Battenburgh sent a British national to negotiate with the British Navy on behalf of the Dutch. Not surprisingly, he negotiated a full and complete surrender
Interestingly enough, Governor von Battenburgh was allowed to keep his job except that he was now styled "His Brittanic Majesty's Governor" now

Time up.
A long time ago a sloop named Dauntless ran aground off the eastern shore of Leguan. It was abandoned there. Over time silt built up around and on top the Dauntless and an island was formed. Seeds from bird droppings and from flotsam washed up on the island and trees grew up to a height of 30-40 feet. Tides deposited more silt and the island expanded until it eventually merged with Leguan.
That island was called Dauntless, which is now an integral part of Leguan.
Dauntless is now like a forest. Look at this map, the green triangular end on the right side of Leguan.
