Migrations and Diaspora

Like previously stated from the origins post, the Kuna people came from Colombia where they went towards the Darien mountains and relocated to Panama and the San Blas islands.

These migrations were caused partly by wars with other indigenous tribes and possibly by bad treatment of the Spanish invaders. To this day, The kuna reside on the east coast of Panama. Most Kuna people stay within the reservation, but there are a few who travel out to Panama city for finding jobs and getting an education at universities. Other then that, they don't travel outside of Panama, for they are proud of their culture and want to preserve it.
