Description
by Serene Greene (Author)
Guna (or Kuna) are an Indigenous people of Panama known for their distinct culture, including the intricate "Mola" textiles created by women, and their resilient lifestyle. The Guna people have a profound spiritual connection to nature, particularly to "Mother Earth." They have been diligent in preserving their autonomy, language, and way of life. They are recognized for their pioneering efforts in indigenous rights and environmental conservation, having established a protected natural area and a forest reserve on their lands.
Molas are more than a piece of traditional dress; they have had a valuable impact on the politics and culture of the indigenous Kuna people of Panama. The origins are in the San Blas Islands, an archipelago off the northern coast of Panama that is part of the Guna Yala Region. Traditionally, Kuna women painted their bodies with geometric designs, using available natural colors from dyes derived from plants and berries. They were often used as living history, showing hidden symbols of medical plants, protective symbols, legends, and stories.
