Memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 5, 2026, as Indian Arrival Day in Guyana in New York.

This bill memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to recognize May 5, 2026, as Indian Arrival Day in Guyana in New York. Indian Arrival Day commemorates the arrival of the first Indians in British Guiana on May 5, 1838. The day honors the cultural heritage and contributions of the Indo-Guyanese community, which constitutes almost 40 percent of Guyana's population. New York City, with its large Guyanese expatriate community, predominantly in Queens, will celebrate this day to recognize the cultural diversity and ethnic pride it represents.
