Description
The Emberá-Wounaan is an indigenous people of Panama, predominantly inhabiting the regions near the Chagres River and in the Darien Province. They are known for their rich culture, traditional practices, and connection to the rainforest. The Emberá-Wounaan people primarily speak their own languages, Emberá and Wounaan, which belong to the Chibchan language family.
Traditionally, the Emberá-Wounaan people engage in subsistence agriculture, hunting, and fishing, relying heavily on the natural resources available in their environment. They are skilled artisans, known for their intricate craftsmanship in creating traditional wooden crafts, woven baskets, and colorful body paintings. Their vibrant cultural expressions are seen in their dress and community rituals.
Today, the Emberá-Wounaan community works to preserve their cultural identity while also facing the challenges of modernity and external influences. They are involved in promoting eco-tourism initiatives, which help support their economy and raise awareness about their traditions. Organizations and local governments are working together to safeguard their rights and promote sustainable development practices.
