Just 49 of the islands are inhabited, primarily by the fiercely independent Kuna Indians, who have maintained their own language, customs, culture, and economy for millennia, with distinctive dress, legends, music and dance. Their economy is supported by coconut sales, fishing, arts and crafts, and modest tourism that protects their pristine environment and enduring culture.
