When a myth becomes real and reality becomes a myth
There is a mysterious indigenous legend in Panama: "the Rabbit Indian." He was known for his resistance to civilization, for fighting other ethnic groups, and then eating their remains. They are said to be small (1.5 meters tall), with long ears, and their bodies are completely painted. During the day they hide in caves high in the mountains and only come out at night to hunt. This is a myth that has become reality. When we speak of a past marked by wars and cultural disappearances, this is precisely what is happening today. Though elusive, the Rabbit Indian is one of the last remaining links in the Naso culture.Read moreLess
