Arukamai is a village in the Mabaruma sub-district of Barima-Waini, Region 1. The Ministry of Amerindian Affairs includes it in its list of Indigenous villages.
Farm-to-market connections
In March 2024, DPI reported the commissioning of a gravel farm-to-market road serving Arukamai. The account connected the village with Wauna, Kamwatta, White Water and Kumaka market, and described its importance for students and people moving agricultural produce and timber.
The development shows how a road can support several aspects of community life at once. It can connect households with schools, reduce the difficulty of carrying produce and give farmers another route to buyers. Present road conditions and transport availability still need local confirmation.

Arukamai also appeared in an October 2025 report on transport equipment distributed among Mabaruma-area communities.
