In Bernal Castillo's book, the indigenous resistance led by the gunas is detailed, along with the colonial policy to subdue the territory, forced displacements, and alliances with European pirates for defense. The research is set in the 19th century, exploring the relationship of the gunas with the Colombian state, with years of study in archives from the U.S., Colombia, and Panama.
To understand the Guna rebellion of 1925, works such as "Anmar Nabba Tulenega" have been published, contributing to the interpretation of resistance and the defense of the territory of Gunayala. The work of Aiban Wagua and oral history convey the perspective of the Guna people on these events, making it essential reading for social sciences researchers interested in the topic.
The Guna rebellion became a reference for political autonomy and territorial control for the indigenous people. Simón Herrera's unpublished book explores the struggle for territorial unity and division after Panama's independence from Colombia, enriching the historical record of the gunas. Other titles document the life and legacy of the people, as well as their ancestral roots and territorial evolution over the years.
Through literature about Gunayala, the importance of the rebellion in the declaration of laws for indigenous communities is remembered, serving as a model of self-government accepted by other nationalities in the country. On this centenary of the rebellion, gratitude is expressed to the ancestors for their resilience, and future research on the history and social transformation of the gunas is proposed.
The narrative of the Guna rebellion has been interpreted from various perspectives in the social sciences, while ancestral history and collective memory guide reflection on the present. The work seeks to honor the research efforts of both Dule and non-Dule intellectuals immersed in the history of the indigenous people, connecting the past and present in a challenge for new generations of scholars.
The accounts of anthropologists and academics provide a deep insight into the resistance and territorial struggle of the gunas, inviting reflection on the legacy of autonomy and political control achieved throughout their history.
