Kunas, Panama
Discover the Culture of the Kuna Indians. There is so much to say about the Kuna Indians that it is hard to know where to start. The only Independent and Autonomous Indigenous tribe in Panama (some say in America), their victory was hard earned. Today, they are masters of their own land and fight to preserve their culture in a rapidly evolving world. Their molas are the best example of patience and dedication-each mola takes several days (sometimes weeks) to create. The designs are designed and hand-made by the Kuna women. If you have a chance to see a Kuna sewing a mola, pay special attention to the process, it is what sets it apart from simpler “patchwork”. ---------- Hay tanto por decir de los indígenas Kunas que es difícil saber por dónde empezar. Los únicos indígenas que lograron alcanzar su autonomía e independencia en Panamá (muchos dicen en todo América), su victoria fue alcanzada con penas. Hoy, son maestros de su tierra y luchan para preservar su cultura en un mundo siempre cambiante. Sus molas son el mejor ejemplo de su paciencia y dedicación: cada mola es hecha a mano por una Kuna y demora varios días/semanas en crearse. Si tienen la oportunidad de ver a una Kuna cociendo una mola, presten atención al proceso, es lo que hace la diferencia entre una mola y un simple patchwork. (By ATP) www.panamacity-hotels.travel

San Blas Islands, Panama ~~~ The Kuna women wear beautiful tapestries called molas around their waists. They wrap colorful beads around their wrists and calves; and they wear bright red scarves on their heads. Most of them have a black line running vertically down the length of their nose with a gold ring placed through the septum.
In and around Kuna, you can easily get outdoors, get an adrenaline rush, or learn about unique history. Here are some things to do in Kuna.

Kuna tribe woman, from San Blas islands, Panama. Like many people in those islands, she is albino. I know there is an explanation with the DNA etc but in all my trips i always met albinos people in the most remote areas.. She also has a sister who is albino. In Kunas culture, they are not seen as a bad sign, like in many others places.. www.ericlafforgue.com
