The Natives of Panama

When the Spaniards came to the present day area known as Panama in the 16th Century, they encountered various Native American Indian Groups; the main of these included the Kuna, Guaymi, Choco and some other minor native groups. Subsequent to the settling of the Spanish, the mixed ancestry of Spanish and Indians developed to what is termed today as mestizos. During the colonial times the people from Africa were brought there as slaves, and slowly these people were also integrated into the society. With the construction of the Panama City – Colon railway, and then later the canal, a range of nationalities were settled in this area; included nationalities were from the United States, China, French, West Indian, as well as Italians and Greeks. All these nations have contributed to the current society of Panama.

A small fraction of the original natives remain, mostly living in isolated areas, including on small islands, and in the rain forests.

The largest of the groups is the Guaymi or Ngobe Bugle – mostly located in Western Panama. They live in the provinces of Chiriqui, Bocas del Toroand Veraguas. The language spoken by these indigenous natives is known as Ngabere. The Guaymi proved to be formidable opponents to the exploring Spaniards and it was recorded in many historic journals of these fierce and fearless adversaries. The Guaymi people still follow many of their traditions, but many have opted for the work opportunities in the coffee plantations in the neighboring Costa Rica. The women still practice the manufacture of traditional arts and crafts and make the traditional ‘Panama hat’ which is worn by the men… A traditional ‘jewellery’ item worn by these people is what is known as a Chaquira, which is a beaded necklace also worn by the men of the Ngobe Bugle.

The last descendants of Indians...

A lot of scientists agree that Ecuadorian people are 100% descendants of native Amazon Indians. And that Ecuador represent the Mestizos nation in central and south America.... Learn more, discover the Mestizos Republic

Scientists have found … "markers" in human genes that they call Native American markers because they believe all "original" Native Americans had these genetic traits … On the mitochondrial DNA, there are a total of five different "haplotypes" … which are increasingly called "Native American markers," and are believed to be a genetic signature of the founding ancestors. As for the Y-chromosome, there are two primary lineages or "haplogroups" that are seen in modern Native American groups.
So "Native American markers" can tell something about an individual’s biological descendancy along a few ancestral lines over archaeological time.

Big part (more than95%)of individuals from Ecuador possess markers and have close biological, social and cultural attachment to a living tribe.
That take us to the conclusion that Ecuadorian people and Ecuador represent the last existing of living amazon Indians, and the Ecuador represent the Mestizos nation.

Thats been approved by the Ecuadorian look and by the Savage way Ecuadorians people live, their attitude, and their constant effort to find an identity, since Mexicans looks down on them, other south American country consider Ecuadorians like bugs ...Thats make them acting funny and always trying to prove what they are not .

Esto solo has que los Estados Unidos tenga una peor pensamiento de Ecuador.

Ecuador #1 in Illegal Immigration

The number of Ecuadorians illegally entering the US by sea has surpassed the number of Cuban boat people or illegal Hatian immigrants, according to a recent study by the US Embassy in Quito, Ecuador. The source of the problem is that the Ecuadorian government is not funding any resources to stop this wave of emigration, as they do not give it priority in their budget and military planning.

The Ecuadorian immigrants have thus become protagonists of the largest wave of maritime ilegal immigration in modern history, according to the Embassy.

Since the year 2000, between 234,000 and 350,000 Ecuadorians have set sail for Guatamala in illegal embarcations, from where they are smuggled across the Mexican border and into the US by "coyotesm" according to the study by Terry S. Wichert, Naval Attache, and Leiutenant Coronel Michael Trevett.

This surprising figure is twice the previous record for Cuban boat people (in 1980 124.776 people left Cuba) and is ten times greater than the numbers of Haitianos (25.177, between1993 y 1994) attempting to enter by sea.

It has been largely a silent migration, according to the authors, as the international media have given little or no attention to this migratory
crisis, while for the Ecuadorian press it has become a routine story.

The mass Ecuadorian emigration began in 1999, shortly after a banking
crisis caused millions to lose their life savings, and continues to grow.
"We know that between 4 and 7 ships leave every week, with between 100 and 150 people on each one," according to the embassy.

From the old fishing boats that set out each week from dozens of Ecuadorian beaches, it is common to find not only Ecuadorians, but Peruvians, Albanians, Chinese, Iraquis, Koreans and even Irishmen. The route of illegal immigration from Ecuador is "so succesful that, frankly, it has gained international fame. Around the world it is said that if you want to sneak into the United States, go to Ecuador and get on a ship,"according to the report.

The Embassy report adds that some of the ships that carry illegals also
transport drugs, and that the profits from the sales of these drugs reach
the Colombian guerillas. Sometimes the ships return from Central America
carrying arms and munitions.
