The Kuna Indians
The Kuna are an Indian tribe in Panama, they number approximately 35,000 of which the majority lives in the San Blas Islands.They speak their own language called "Tule". They live traditionally in thatched roof huts made from materials readily found in the jungle.
The women wear wrap-around skirts and beautifully hand-made blouses decorated with "molas". The Mola is a sewn picture made from layers of cloth. Kuna women also paint their faces with a homemade rouge made from achiote seeds. They also usually wear a nose ring and paint a line down their nose.
The men are amazing fishers and will sell the cook on board whatever he caught fresh for the day; lobster, snapper, or do you prefer some king-krab? There are so many more traditions and rites, but instead of writing about it it’s better to experience it.
