Acknowledgements
A project with so many layers would not have been possible without the support,
friendship, love and prayer from a diverse collection of people at every stage. These
include members of the Guna community, professors, colleagues, friends and family.
First of all, I would like to express my immense gratitude to the many speakers of
Guna and community members who opened their homes, shared with me their time, and
allowed me to record their voices. Thank you to Igwawikdiginya Gómez, Angerí
Gonzalez, Leny Smith, Ricardo Chiari, Hortenciano Martínez, Beatriz Smith, Ediltrudis
López, Isolina Fernández, Meraldo Robles, Nilda García, Gabino Torres, Chief
Leodomiro Paredes, Chief Dicky Brown, Francisco Quijano, Aloyd Boyd, Rosamelia
Tejada, Pedro Green, Nivia Alba Filós, Belinda Calvo, Nereida Barrantes, Mercedes
Barrantes, Kempes Archibold, Gilberto Casís, Ricardo Arias, Elías Pérez, Olopankipiler
Pérez, Benito Morales, Faustino Alba, Diana Lopez and Alcides Esquivel. There are three
people who deserve special mention: Yageri Pérez, Pailiber Rodriguez and my father,
Lino Smith. They were instrumental in the completion of the dissertation, assisting me
with transcription, translation, and in withstanding countless questions that I had about
the language.
I am also grateful to the many people at the
Congreso General Guna
and the
Congreso General de la Cultura Guna
who opened doors for me to share and interact
