Life of the Indigenous Naso | Inside Panama’s Most Remote Region

[@danielrojas1663]

Thank you. My parents are from Cocle and it is evident how much indigenous ancestry we have but the times have changed and modernization is everywhere. My father is in hospice care in his last days and I sit here remembering his stories about what Panama was like 80 years ago and I imagine his upbringing and the Naso life are more similar than not. I hope the best for all our brothers and sisters in the Comarcas.

I wonder how common is discrepancy between how colonialists and its descendants, including some scholars of native groups studies, call the native groups or ethnicities, and the names the natives call themselves by. I grew up tought the names of our native groups all wrong, according to what apparently they made the country's authorities call themselves eventually. For example, this one, i was tought in school this group was called Teribes. Naso is the official name how we are being thought they are called now. And it's actually the same with all of the native groups in Panama: formerly called Guaymies, now Ngobes, formerly Chocoes, now Embera- Wounans, formerly Bokotas, now Bugleres, formerly Kunas, now Gunas. Important to point too that it's just 4 years ago the Naso reservation was established.
