Abstract

This chapter explains that the history of the Kuna people of Panama is constituted of resistance to outsiders - and that tradition continues today with tourists. Although the Kuna are known worldwide for their hand-sewn mola panels, they remain an elusive mystery to the tourists who come to their islands.
