PANAMA: INDIANS KUNA MARK THE 75 ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVOLUTION
Mexico City, on February, 25th. A/correspondent of ITAR-TASS/. "What difference between
The corn which has been grown up by the Panama Indians-kuna, and corn from
The next Colombia? "- the 80-year-old old man of the 13-year-old guy has asked
And then has significantly explained: "The matter is that our corn
Roots leaves in depth of centuries, whereas history of the Colombian
It is short ". Juan Peres Archibald known today the Panama
The sociologist, never will forget that conversation with one of leaders
kuna, aboriginals of the Atlantic coast of Panama, and
More precisely, numerous islands of archipelago the Dignity-blas. Them
Number - only 50 tys the person; swarty, low growth,
In picturesque clothes, they have saved traditions and culture, at all
Not changed throughout centuries.
Exactly 75 years ago, on February, 25th 1925 g, contrary to the congenital
To calmness and peaceful disposition, Indians lift armed revolt
Against the Panama authorities. The revolt reason were
Incessant provocations and insults from the party
Policemen who, for example, forced women to dress in
"Civilised" clothes, pulled out from a nose and ears literally
Gold earrings. All it was accompanied by beating of their husbands and
Fathers. And Indians have humiliated also politically and socially: them
Have deprived of suffrages, nobody took natives on job and
Study.
The revolt plan have developed local leader Simral Kolman and
Its military assistant Nele Kantule. Date has been chosen not casually
- This day administration it is noisy celebrated the beginning
Traditional carnival. As recollected 90-year-old kuna Samuel
Morris Agilar, hundreds armed soldiers-Indians fearlessly
Have gone to restore justice. Struggle was
Severe, persistent, but revolution nevertheless has won. But now kuna
It was necessary to declare itself as about a member of the Panama equal in rights
Republics. In 1932 g Kantule it was possible to achieve that
The government has legally granted to aboriginals the right to a voice.
Maintenance of inviolability of places was following step
Residing kuna for preservation of their original culture. Knowing about
To poverty and shortage of workplaces in a community, Kantule has been compelled
Personally to address to a management billeted in Panama
Southern command of the USA with the request to employ the
Fellow tribesmen.
However the subsequent leaders could not finish business Kantule to
The end. Many from kuna have not sustained poverty and have gone in
Capital on earnings. The majority and could not join to
Rough city life also are compelled to sell for copecks in the street
Products of national creativity. Those who remained on islands and
Conducts a traditional way of life - basically illiterate. A plan
nele consisted in creating schools and workplaces
Directly in a reservation, having saved a life kuna and simultaneously having attached them
To dostizhenimjam civilisations. To numerous problems and
To difficulties oppressions from branches today were added
Large hotels and the tour agencies, wishing to use the unique
Riches of flora and fauna the Dignity-blasa. Reservation territory
Suggest to reduce to reasonable limits, though actually speech
Goes about a gradual survival of Indians from native places.
Unique pleasure kuna still remain national
Holidays. On February, 25th they suit the colourful dramatized
Representation, simulating colour and the revolution invoice.
Obligatory attribute - crowds of tourists from all light and
Representatives of local authorities. But fun passes, and many
Problems of aboriginals of an isthmus and remain unresolved,
And it is not clear, whether revolution of last century by the premessenger is
Positive changes in a life kuna in new, п п 1 a century?
