The Kuna Community, also known as the Guna people, inhabit the Guna Yala autonomous territory along the Caribbean coast of Panama. They are internationally recognized for their strong system of Indigenous self-government, exercised through community assemblies and regional congresses. The Kuna have maintained political autonomy, communal land ownership, and cultural sovereignty for nearly a century, making their governance system a durable example of radical democracy grounded in Indigenous rights, commons management, and ancestral knowledge.
