Native Planet Indigenous Cultures Embera and Waounan The Embera and Waounan Indigenous People of Panama and Colombia Note: Waounan and Embera people have long shared the same territory and their recent history and present culture is similar, so this general information shall serve for both groups. This is not to downplay the distinctions of the two, for they speak separate languages, their traditional roles Waounan were artists, and Embera warriorsset them apart and they are organized politically as separate groups. Our Embera Case Study is focused on the people of Embera Drua (Upper Chagres), Embera Puru and Arimae (Darien). Our Waounan Case Study is focused on the people of Puerto Lara (Darien). In the following pages, we will feature various subjects such as, History Culture and Lifestyle Cultural Preservation Efforts (and Human Rights) , assessments of Eco-Tourism and Local Guides and our Photo Gallery General Information In the census of 1990, the population of Panama was 2,329,329 inhabitants of whom 194,166 or 11.8% were Indigenous. The republic of Panama is divided into 9 provinces and its Indigenous population is formed by 7 distinct groups which are the Kuna, Embera, Waounan, Ngobe, Bugle, Nassau, and Terribe people. The first Comarca Indigena, official Indigenous territory in Panama was created in 1938 in the San Blas archipelago by the Kuna people. In the province of Darien, the Embera and Waounan people joined forces and organized themselves politically to create the Comarca Embera-Waounan in 1983. It encompasses the districts of Cemaco and Sambu.

Campaign Update – Panama: Indigenous Peoples and Workers Protest Repressive Laws Date: 07/15/2010 It began on July 2 when workers for the Bocas Fruit Company went on strike because they had not been paid for two weeks. By July 8, police reported 7,000 protesters in Bocas del Toro province, and on July 9 the estimate rose to 10,000. The largely Indigenous population poured out its anger over new laws and government repression by marching and blockading the major roads. Police cracked down with brutal force, killing at least two and possibly as many as seven Indigenous protesters, injuring and jailing hundreds, and affecting thousands with tear gas. Many Indigenous protesters fled to the mountains carrying the wounded, fearful of seeking medical attention. Even after a temporary agreement was reached on July 11, ending the strike, there are no confirmed figures for the dead and wounded. Anger against a government that is deaf to their appeals and disrespectful of their rights has simmered for years among the Indigenous tribes of Bocas del Toro. Last year, the Inter-American Human Rights Commission ruled that Panama must institute precautionary measures to guarantee the human rights of the Ngobe people, represented by Cultural Survival, whose homes are being destroyed for construction of the Chan75 dam on the Changuinola River—but Panama ignored the ruling. In recent weeks, the government passed new laws that weaken labor unions, deny workers’ right to strike, eliminate the requirement for Environmental and Social Impact Studies, and authorize 2-year jail sentences for street protesters, among other measures that favor multinational corporations at the expense of Panama’s people and environment.

Mission Statement Strategy Papers Organisational Structure History ... Peru Indigenous Peoples in Panama The Kuna or Dule are characterised by their strong political and administrative cohesion as demonstrated in the Kuna General Congress, which was established in 1945 as their highest government body. The Congress sits twice a year, with five delegates from each of the 48 communities in the comarca. The Kuna General Congress is represented at Panamanian government level by three general caciques (chiefs). The Congress has also created other institutions such as the Institute for the Integral Development of Kuna Yala (Instituto para el Desarrollo Integral de Kuna Yala - Idiky), which manages development projects implemented within the comarca, and the Congress of General Culture, responsible for maintaining culture. There are also local congresses at community level. The main economic activity of the Kuna is agriculture (banana, coconut, avocado), along with fishing, handicrafts (wood, ceramics and fabrics) and tourism, although there is also a section of the population that has migrated to the city in the hope of improving their economic situation. The Kuna are currently having to face up to problems involving mining concessions, an influx of settlers onto their territories and the war and drugs trafficking along the border with Colombia.

[Home] Why Panama? Panama Tourism Panama Real Estate Boom Press Release ... Panama's Indigenous People Panama History: Indigenous People To date, indigenous people of Panama number about five percent of the country's population and are located in the most remote parts of the isthmus . There are seven recognized tribes of indigenous people in Panama. They are the Nôbe-Buglé, Teribe, Kuna, Embera-Wounaan, Guaymi, Talamanca, and the Bokata. They range from almost completely assimilated to groups holding on to their traditions with dear life and white knuckles as the sands of time move them into a more W est bound direction. The Guyami and Nôbe-Buglé comprise roughly one half of the indigenous population of the country and reside mainly in Chiriqui Province. These two tribes speak Spanish but have strived to preserve their traditional way of life. The Teribe are fiercely proud of their language and will not even use Spanish words for non-native objects. The Kuna live on the Caribbean side on a comarca called San Blas. They also reside in W estern Panama and in the mountains of the Darien.

Powered by IFAD updated: 13 February, 2007 About the Portal Contact Us IFAD Welcome! Home Sign In Home Dimensions of rural poverty ... Zimbabwe Print Send Population pressure and environmental degradation have reduced overall access to productive land. Environmental degradation poses a significant threat to the future productivity and wellbeing of rural communities. Unregulated deforestation and intensive farming have led to advancing degradation of the savannah and loss of soil fertility, particularly in the northern regions. The effects of climate change are already evident, especially in the north where crop and livestock farming are being affected by changes in rainfall patterns and soil degradation. Source: IFAD Rural poverty in Lao People's Democratic Republic The high growth rate achieved by the Lao People's Democratic Republic since introducing economic reforms after the mid 1980s, has resulted in a steady decline in poverty. The incidence of poverty shrank from about 46 per cent in 1992 to about 33 per cent in 2003. Yet the country remains one of the poorest and least developed in Southeast Asia. Although social indicators have also shown an improvement, they are still among the lowest in the region. The Lao People's Democratic Republic is more rural in character than any other country in Southeast Asia. More than three quarters of the total population live in these areas, and depend on agriculture and natural resources for survival. Poverty is particularly concentrated in rural areas. While agriculture is the mainstay of the country's economy, farming is largely practised at subsistence level. A substantial amount of the country's mountainous terrain is unsuitable for cultivating crops, and productive conditions for farmers are generally poor. Many rural communities are geographically and socially isolated.

This Article is designed to review the legacy of conquest in various arenas around the planet, and to arrive at a transnationally valid conclusion, if possible, on the status of indigenous peoples under domestic law (Part I); to describe the actors and trends in decision-making in international indigenous law (Part II); and to appraise these developments with particular focus on the issues of conceptualization of indigenous peoples, their claims to self-determination, unique collective rights, as well as innovative avenues of enforcement (Part III).

Within comarcas, people elect a General assembly, governor, and any number of regional and local leaders, although the government still controls public expenditure and tax revenues within the territory. The comarca Ngöbe-Buglé, located in north western Panama, was formed in 1997 both as a latent result of government promise and of considerable political pressure from the Ngäbe-Buglé, united by threats of natural resource exploitation and environmental degradation on their ancestral lands.
