Guna People

The Guna people are an Indigenous group from Panama and Colombia, known for their rich culture and traditional way of life. They primarily inhabit the San Blas Islands along the Caribbean coast. The Guna have preserved their language, customs, and social structures, which emphasize community and environmental harmony. They are renowned for their vibrant molas—handmade textile art—and their resistance to outside influence. The Guna also run their own government systems within their communities, prioritizing autonomy and cultural preservation while engaging with modern society.
