My little girls, You will grow up and marry a grown boy. You will grow up.... I will look for molas, Molas for the little girls. --Cuna Lullaby The remarkable Cuna Indians live on the San Blas Islands off the northern coast of Panama. Cuna women hold much of the power enjoyed by men in other societies. They select their husbands, pass property on to their children, and make a unique form of art called molas that depict every detail of their lives.
