46. Cuna An ethnolinguistic group located mainly in eastern panama. http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/EthnoAtlas/Hmar/Cult_dir/Culture.7839

Society-CUNA The Cuna are an ethnolinguistic group located mainly in eastern Panama. A few Cuna are found within the national territory of Colombia, but most of what is known about the group pertains to the Panamanian population. The majority of the Cuna20,831 in 1940reside in villages in the San Blas archipelago region, while an additional 1,000-5,000 live along inland watercourses (Marshall 1950: 167; Stout 1947: 14). Their present distribution is the result of migrations, which began in the mid-1800s, from highland riverside locations on the islands of San Blas. Some Cuna remained in the mountain regions, and most of their descendants live along the Bayano and Chucuaque rivers. This geographical separation has led modern observers to divide the group into the Mainland or Mountain Cuna, and the San Blas Cuna. There is little contact between the two groups, and there appear to be some differences between them in such matters as subsistence activities and degree of acculturation. Since the Mountain group has tended to discourage outside contacts and is, therefore, relatively unstudied, a discussion of the degree of variation between the two groups is impossible. But they are identified by their common language, Cuna. This language is presently classified as one of the Central American languages of the Eastern Chibchan group within the Macro-Chibchan phylum (Voegelin and Voegelin 1965: 25-28). The climate of Panama is hot and humid. The average annual temperature is 27 degrees C. in Colon, with somewhat lower temperatures in higher altitudes, and there is little annual fluctuation. Rainfall is heavy, averaging 254 cm. annually, and seasonal. January to May is considered the dry season, and May to September is the time of the heaviest rains. Most of the Cuna territory is marshy and covered with tropical forest or secondary growth. In contrast, the San Blas Islands inhabited by the Cuna have been cleared of most growth, except for coconut trees, and are covered with a layer of sand. The Cuna have had a long and varied history of contact with Europeans, beginning in the early 1500s with the arrival of the Spanish. Reconstructions would seem to indicate that the Cuna lived along inland waterways and had a mixed subsistence strategy based on horticulture, hunting, fishing, and collecting. The aboriginal social structure is thought to have been one of highly stratified villages, each with its own chief, nobles, commoners, and slaves. Warfare was probably common, especially against the neighboring Choco and Catio people. The arrival of the Spanish opened a period of deculturation and decimation. Many Cuna were killed in warfare or by European diseases, and the Spanish used harsh measures in extracting tribute and labor from the indigenous populations. Often the Cuna allied themselves with the British against the Spanish. This pattern of hostility toward Spanish-speakers, contrasted with amicable relations with English-speakers, has continued in modern times. After independence from Spain, the Cuna eventually aligned themselves with Panama rather than Colombia. In 1925 they staged a rebellion, which resulted in the San Blas area becoming a largely autonomous Cuna reserve within the Republic of Panama, a political status it still holds today. The Cuna in the twentieth century are undergoing a population increase, and, although remaining somewhat outside the mainstream of Panamanian society, they are increasingly influenced by Western culture. At present, the Cuna economy is based on a mixture of hunting, fishing, collecting, horticulture, trade, and migratory work. Peccaries, squirrels, tapirs, agoutis, monkeys, deer, birds, and iguanas are the principal species hunted. Hunting techniques include the use of bow and arrow, blowguns, spears, shotguns, and pits. Nets, bow and arrow, hook and line, and weirs are used in fishing, while turtling involves the use of nets and decoys. Hunting has decreased in importance as the men have focused their activities on slash-and-burn horticulture, formerly a female activity. Major crops include bananas, plantains, corn, yams, sweet potatoes, rice, sugarcane, sweet manioc, avocados, coconuts, and other tropical fruits. Except for coconuts, all crops are grown on the mainland, and the island-dwelling Cuna must travel by dugout canoe or sailboat to their lands. They are also dependent on the mainland for their water supply. Besides supplying the bulk of the Cuna diet, these crops are used in trade conducted on a cash basis. Wage labor opportunities outside the Cuna area in urban centers or with various U.S. enterprises in Panama have attracted an increasing number of Cuna, though usually on a short-term basis. The modern Cuna economy is highly cash oriented, and just about everything from land to esoteric knowledge may be bought and sold. Cuna villages vary in size and degree of modernization, but they exhibit structural similarities. The basic unit is the household, usually comprised of a matrilocal extended family. The head of the household is the oldest male, who is most frequently the father or father-in-law of the other household men. His wife holds a somewhat analogous authority over the activities of the other females in the household. On the death of the household head, he may be succeeded by the oldest surviving male, or the household may split into several independent units. Kinship is bilateral, and inheritance follows consanguineal lines. Marriages are arranged by parents. Beyond restrictions against marriage to close relatives and a preference for marriage between economic equals, there are few restrictions or preferences in the choice of marriage partners. Divorces are permissible. Polygyny, though allowed, is infrequent and confined to the wealthy. Infanticide is known and, in the past, albino infants were frequently put to death. Although it appears to be dying out, the most notable life crisis ceremony is the girl's puberty ceremony. Above the household level Cuna village organization is marked by incipient economic stratification. Knowledge of Cuna tradition is still an important determinant of status and is the basis on which village chiefs are elected by the adult men to lifetime terms. Chiefs have a number of assistants, the number varying with the needs of the village. The authority of the chief depends more on his ability to persuade than on his office. Decisions on communal activities are reached in meetings of all adult males. Chiefs also hold singing meetings in which they relate Cuna history and exhort villagers to behave properly. Social control is largely on the informal level, and disputes are settled by the interested parties. It is likely that in aboriginal times the village was the highest level of integration. In post-Columbian times, however, a process of consolidation of leadership eventually led to there being a single chief, elected from among the village chiefs, who mediated between the Cuna and outside governments. In the early 1900s, the death of one of these chiefs resulted in the formation of two political parties, which differed on the issues of the chief's successor, alliance with Panama versus Colombia, and the extent to which modernization should be encouraged. Although ideological differences are largely a thing of the past, most Cuna belong to one or the other party, and party politics are important in choosing chiefs and representatives. The Cuna religious system is intimately tied up with their medical system. There are several types of magico-religious practitioners, including seers, chanters, and cursers, some of whom specialize in epidemics. Thus far the Cuna have resisted missionization. The 1920s and 1930s mark the heyday of Swedish ethnographers' interest in the Cuna. Nordenskiold (1938) is the largest collection of native texts, covering such diverse topics as history, mythology, songs, medical-religious practices, and vocabularies. It also contains a brief ethnographic introduction. A brief summary of Cuna life, including a few good photographs, may also be found in Weyer (n.d.: 75-81). Culture summary by Eleanor C.

Sign up now for the subscriber materials! Panama - Culture By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman The country of Panama has a mixed culture. For many years, native Panamanians lived mostly alone. In the 16th century, Spanish explorers came to Panama. They brought with them Spanish culture and traditions. The Spanish way of life mixed with the native way of life to create something new. But one culture that remained mostly unchanged was that of the Kuna. The Kuna are a tribe of native Panamanians. They live on an island chain off Panama's north shore. Today's Kuna live much like their ancestors did many years ago. That's because until recently, they were mostly left alone. The Kuna are a close community. They have strong ties to their family, community, and simple way of life. Their society is matriarchal. That means that family ties are passed from the mother's side of the family. In such a society, women have an important place. For instance, after marriage, the newly married man must live in his wife's family's house. While living there, he has to work for his wife's family. The Kuna have specific work for men and women. Kuna men gather food, make clothes for himself and his sons, weave baskets, and carve wooden utensils. Women prepare food, make clothing for themselves and their daughters, and keep their homes clean. They also make a special kind of clothing. This clothing is called mola.

48. Thorup...Kuna Indians History, pictures, and culture of this panama Indian tribe. http://www.thorup.com/cuna.html

SHERRY THORUP the KUNA INDIANS (1977) Barre Publishing, Barre, Massachusetts The Kuna Indians are a strongly-knit tribal society living on a chain of islands called San Blas Archipelago, on the Atlantic side of the Republic of Panama. Believed to be decendents of the Caribs, the Kuna Indians still live in much the same manner as their ancestors. The San Blas people have cleverly managed to retain their tribal identity and contentedly lead a moral balanced life, free from the complexities of modern, highly-organized societies. The Kuna have a matriachal society in which the line of inheritance passes through the women. A young man, after marriage, must live in his mother-in-law's house and work for several years under apprenticeship to his father-in-law. Divorce is uncommon, although it requires no more than the husband to gather his clothes and move out of the house. The daughters of the Kuna people are prized because they will eventually bring additional manpower into the family. For some unknown reason, there is a high rate of albinism in the Kuna men. Because of the intensity of the sun in Central America, the albino men are not able to do the work expected of a Kuna man. In order to contribute to their community, they assume duties traditionally assigned to the women, including mola-making. Although encouraged not to marry, the albino men are accepted in the community and their work is respected by their peers.

52. The Pollera Of Panama Traditional culture belongs to the common people, that large sector of society that The pollera in panama evolved from the Spanish feminine dress of the http://www.angelfire.com/tx/CZAngelsSpace/POLLERA.html

The Pollera of Panama Excerpts from: The Pollera of Panama, by Dora P. de Zarate ©1973 by Richard A. Cheville and Lila R. Cheville; originally published in Spanish under the title of La Pollera Panamena, 1966, by Dora P. de Zarate. THE POLLERA AS A NATIONAL SYMBOL Within specific areas of a nation, expressions frequently vary and change without altering the essence of the original; the Spanish jota, for example, originated in Aragon but is danced with different variations throughout all of Spain. In Panama, the tamborito (Panama's national dance) is found in almost every region of the Republic, but the basic dance changes little from one province to another; we have not studied Bocas del Toro. When an element of folk tradition acquires complete acceptance among a people, reflecting the soul of an entire population, then it must be conceded that this element is an ingredient of national spirit and sentiment. There are many folk traditions that have been adopted as truly characteristic of Panama's nationality, but among all of these symbols probably no single expression stands higher than the pollera, the women's national dress. Its flowing skirt, abundance of handwork, and ornate jewelry mark the dress as one of the most beautiful costumes in the world, admired and cherished by all Panamanians. ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE POLLERA Many people have spoken about the pollera. Some have indicated the exact point of origin for the costume, but such exactness is not compatible with folk material since one of the main characteristics of folklore is spontaneous and anonymous origin. When people become aware of the existence of a folk tradition, a great deal of time has already passed during which the tradition has grown and developed. The pollera had an origin. Along with the other traditional Latin American dresses, the pollera descended from the Spanish dress of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In response to our investigation into the origin of the pollera, Miss Nieves de Hoyos, director of the Museo del Pueblo Espanol, published an article, "La Pollera Panamena," in the Revista de Indias of December, 1963. She wrote

San Blas - Culture Located in the north-western part of Panama, the area is accessible by flight from Panama City to Playos Chico. San Blas has remained virtually untouched by commercial development. Your adventure could be a stay at an uninhabited island, a fishing tour, snorkelling and diving , a relaxing sunbathe, or a look into the remote cultures of the Indians Home to the Cuna Indians, the San Blas Islands stretch along the Atlantic coast of Panama from Colon to Colombia. The Comarca de San Blas is comprised of the San Blas Cuna women the range of themes for body painting was diverse; the range of themes for their molas appears endless. While designs of the earliest molas tended to be geometric abstractions, by the 1940s Cuna women had kindled an interest in the recreation of traditional themes common to body painting, e.g., the animals, trees and men mentioned by Wafer Molas are made in San Blas, Panama. San Blas is an independent state of Panama owned by a people who speak a dialect called Cuna, and so are referred to as Cuna by outsiders. They call themselves Tule, meaning "The People". San Blas encompasses the southern half of the eastern coast of Panama, and includes 365 off-shore atolls protected by a barrier reef. Tule reside in villages on about 50 of the islands, using the remaining land for food cultivation.

ADVERTISING INFORMATION Panama City - Culture There are six different Indians Cultures in Panama and each one of them practices its very own typical ancestral customs. Each province of Panama has a varied Folklore reflected through its dances, music and cuisine. In the deeply catholic provinces of Cocle, Herrera and Los Santos churches are found on the main town square (Plaza) as was the Spanish tradition. Nata, one of the oldest colonial cities, boasts the oldest church of the American Continent. On the provinces of Cocle, Herrera and Los Santos the Catholic religion has been established for ages, which is clearly reflected by the community. Patron Saint celebrations and Religious Holidays are habitually commemorated with processions, especially during lent or in the week before Easter, when the passion and death of Jesus Christ is being represented. All over this area many churches can be found in front of a Plaza, a quintessential Spanish tradition that mixed with popular beliefs produced a singular religious mystic. Nata, in the Province of Cocle, is one of the oldest colonial cities and with the oldest church on the American Continent. Another artisan center by excellence is the Valle de Anton (Anton Valley) in the province of Cocle, which is located only one and a half-hours from Panama City, with a handicrafts market where on Sundays all the craftmakers of the area gather to offer their pieces for reasonable prices to domestic and foreign tourists alike in a picturesque environment of merriment and amiability.
