The guaymíes are descendants of the untamed tribes of Nata, Slag,
Urracá, Paris. They are powerfully built, his skin is dark, flat nose, thick
lips, straight hair. In Panamanian history stands the chief Guaymí
"Magpie" as skilled warrior. This population is based in the western
area of the Isthmus of Panama, in the provinces of Chiriqui (Districts Tolé,
Remedios, San Félix and San Lorenzo), Bocas del Toro (Districts of Chiriquí
Grande and Bocas del Toro) and Veraguas (district of Santa Fe, Cañazas and Las
Palmas). It is agriculture, as in other Panamanian indigenous groups, the
backbone of the economy Guaymí. Both in the piedmont and mountain Tabasara
itself, as in the coastal region and riberina in Bocas del Toro, as in the
veragüenses savannahs, agricultural production ranging from subsistence scale,
the location of small surpluses that are located in peoples "Latino"
or non-Indian neighbors. The same applies to some of the islands in the Laguna
de Chiriqui, Bocas del Toro Province, where arable land is shared with
neighborhood families "Creole".
The time deer hunting in veragüense region have left behind. Short
raised animals such as rabbits, iguanas, are frequent prey. In contrast,
bocatorian region, yet generous species of deer, agouti, peccary, peccary and
painted rabbit roam and Indian lock on the target he can. Traditional hunting
tools are different types of bows and arrows, some of the latter, barbed, although
in recent years has been imposed using the shotgun.
A large hand-woven technology, applied to the manufacture of bags,
itself remains, successful, and trade diversion. This is the making of
"chácaras" or bags made "pita." This is a fiber obtained by
the twisted story, Aechmea magdalenae. The "twine" is also used as a
substitute.
They are villages (joint between 2-6 houses) occupied by people who come
from the same blood bond. The homes are circular design, built directly on the
ground.
Today, culturativos changes are observed in the design of housing, and
adopting increasingly usual, the nuclei of houses like small aldeas. Another feast
of great esteem among Ngöbé, is the arrival of a young woman puberty. It is
isolated inside the house, no one can speak, hear or touch. You can only eat
food prepared from plantains and bananas. Once the isolation period ended, his
parents offer a party where food is plentiful and fermented beverages. In it,
he was officially designated by a name and is declared unfit for marriage.
Within the concept of marriage, unions first degree of consanguinity are
prohibited; also the second degree are prohibited, brother-sister, that's not
possible.
Gnobe and Bugle are different ethnic groups, ethnically and
phenotypically are also different. But they are identified and between them can
be unions.
What is not allowed is the union of Gnobe or Bugle is one or marry a
guava, as people say, this cannot be, can only be given in very exceptional
cases. In none of these ethnic groups, none of these companies is well seen a
marriage of a guan with Gnobe / Bugle, uaunan, Embera is not possible; although
it is corrupting those who are living here in "mouth-trap", which
often sell women as having four or five, then sell one. Put on airs, if you purchase
beyond. So it has come to constitute one serious problem.
