Trump’s threatened tariff-wars w/our allies - Canada & Mexico. Now, he’s gone koo-koo against #Panama, threatening to retake the Canal, which I guess would mean invading our ally, cuz they ain’t about to hand it over. Hasn’t been sworn-in yet, and this is already exhausting.🤦🏻‍♀️

The Guna, also known as Kuna live on small islands off the coast of the comarca of Kuna Yala known as the San Blas Islands. There is no infrastructure, such as running water, electricity, sewage, or a garbage removal system. All waste is disposed of directly into the ocean. #Panama #kuna #guna
Guna grandmother is in her hut fanning her fire while smoking a pipe. I had brought with me several pipes for the elderly ladies. The traditional dress is also an essential part of their cultural identity and the dress consist of a blouse with short, puffy sleeves, cut out of beautiful printed fabric, into which, the extraordinary mola panels are set in the front and back of the blouse.
Guna lady is enjoying the gift of a new pipe that I had given her. She filled it with tobacco and started smoking it immediately. They have their own language called Tule, which is also what the Kunas call themselves. Spanish is a secondary language for many. Their customs and traditions have been passed to the children in song and dance. Until recently the Tule language was unwritten.
A Guna lady is showing the strings of beads that are placed around her legs. Guna women also make and wear long strings of beads which they wrap around their wrists and ankles. The mid-length skirt, the saburete, is a rectangle of fabric wrapped around the waist.
Guna Albino brother and sister. Though not persecuted, Guna albinos face another threat: the tropical sun which can cause them eye problems and skin cancers. More than half the region’s albinos suffer some form of skin cancer. According to Kuna legend, the albino people are called “moon children” and are given the responsibility of shooting arrows at the full moon. Since the moon controls the tide, and Kuna people live on small atolls, they’ve interpreted the presence of albinos as a gift from the gods to protect them from rising tides. Albinos were not always treated well by their fellow Guna. After Spain colonized the region, until the end of the 19th century, the Guna slaughtered their albinos in the misguided belief they were related to their European rulers. In some countries like Tanzania, albinos can be persecuted and killed as a symbol of bad luck, or witchcraft. But the Guna treat their albino children with love and respect.

While birding Panama's pipeline road, we came across every birder's dream--an ant swarm--where birds pursue insects disturbed by the swarm. Here's my favorite, the Spotted Antworm. 🖤🤎🖤 #Antworm #Panama #pipeline #BirdsSeenIn2025

The Emberá people, also known in the historical literature as the Chocó or Katío Indians are an indigenous people of Panama and Colombia. In Panamá the indigenous people were never forced into boarding schools nor punished for speaking their language or practicing their cultural traditions. #Panama
A Panama Embera lady has her arms outstretched in the river. The Emberá people, also known in the historical literature as the Chocó or Katío Indians are an indigenous people of Panama and Colombia. There are approximately 33,000 people living in Panama and 50,000 in Colombia who identify as Emberá. The government of Panamá recognizes the 7 unique Indigenous tribes who live here and they each have been given what is called a Comarca. A Comarca is roughly equivalent to a reservation in North America with several notable differences. The tribes in Panamá were never forced off of their home territories, the comarca borders are drawn around their original homelands. The other big difference is that in Panamá the indigenous people were never forced into boarding schools nor punished for speaking their language or practicing their cultural traditions. In fact, the tribes were ignored, not even counted in the Panama census, not recognized as citizens, nor given the right and access to education until 1975! One benefit that resulted from the Emberá being ignored for so long is that their language, culture, traditions, villages, and lifestyle are still intact.

The River People The Emberá, one of seven indigenous tribes in the Republic of Panama, have established small communities along the banks of the Chagres River where they use the river for cooking, washing or bathing, transportation, and fishing. #Panama #Emberá #swimming #tribes #river
An Embera mother and son are swimming in the river. Except when in towns, the women do not cover their torsos, and wear long, straight black hair. The children go naked until puberty, and no one wears shoes.

A teenage Embera girl is swimming in the river. Jagua is an important fruit in the life of the Embera and Waounan people. It is used as a black dye to paint people's skins. The pigment remains embedded in the skin until the external layer is naturally exfoliated, generally lasting between 10 to 12 days. It is indelible dark blue or black, like a two-week tattoo. The jagua body painting is still in use for all celebrations and is one of the most enduring and important customs for both Waounan and Embera people.
An Embera mother has her arms outstretched while washing in the river. Both men and women practice body painting with the jagua fruit. Some people cover nearly their full body. Even the lower half of the face covered from a line extending back from the corners of the mouth. Some designs are solid blocks of painting with small patches of skin left open to show contrast. Others are elaborate patterns drawn with delicate lines by artists with the thin tip of a bamboo stick. Each design has its own meaning and each age group and gender are assigned specific ones.
