Guna Artifacts Unearthed in Santa Fe | Santa Fe News

Discover the most important Guna artifact collection ever assembled, now on display in Santa Fe — featuring rare molas, sacred wooden carvings, and treasures unearthed after a secret room was discovered following the death of author Capt. Kit S. Kapp. These pieces, gathered from Panama’s resilient Guna people — who defied colonization and preserved their spiritual art for centuries — tell a story of survival, healing, and cultural pride. With fewer than 100 pre-1970 pieces known to exist, this exhibit, titled “Angels, Mermaids and Umbrellas,” rivals even the Smithsonian in significance. All artifacts are destined to return to Panama, where Geoversity is building a museum to safeguard them — and the fading Guna language — for future generations. Don’t miss this powerful tribute to a culture that turned art into armor. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
