Kuna Introduction

The Kuna Indians are a strongly knit tribal society living on the islands called San Blas Islands, and on the mainland of the Atlantic side of Panama. The Kuna Indians preserved their culture very well, living almost exactly the same as their ancestors. Agriculture and fishing are their main source of income as well as their intricate and beautiful knitted clothes called molas created by the women. Between their beliefs and ways of living there is no other culture out there like the Kuna's. They somehow managed to retain their tribal identity and kept themselves free from the complexities of modern society Kuna Homeland Origins Kuna World Migrations Beliefs Cultural Survival Native Birds
