Cunas

Cunas, aborigines of the Isthmus of Darien, Central America, in the Tuyra, Tanera, and Lower Atrato valleys. They call themselves Tule, and form a confederacy with the San Blas Indians, their independence being recognised, or at least tolerated by the Colombian Government. They are of middle height but robust, with light brown complexion, and abundant black hair, worn very long by the men and girls, but cut short by the married women. The Tule language shows some affinity with Carib.
