The Naso population consists of some 3,500 people, living in communities isolated from western mountain jungle of Bocas del Toro.  There, profoundly identified by the river they name “mother nature water” (Teribe, in their own language), have battled to survive as an autonomous unit grouped in family clans governed by their own king or monarch.  The botanicals medicine practice and live thanks to their farming activities and domestic animals raising, as well as they sell their handicrafts, they carry down the river, using as transportation method canoes built by themselves with the wood they obtain from a special tree.
