Kunas are
well known by their molas, a bright and colorful fabric they manufacture and
wear in their female dress.
They are
politically a nation within Panama with their own language, culture, laws
and territory. However, they are also Panamanians.
There wasn´t a single road connecting Kuna Yala with the rest of Panama(not
until 2007). Kuna´s
efforts to preserve their own identity, and their own control over San Blasd has
made it possible to keep this region as the pristine paradise it is today.
