This landscape photo, taken in the Guna Yala region of Panama, looks down into a dugout canoe at two Kuna children. The canoe slices the rectangular image at almost a 45-degree angle, from upper right to lower left. Sitting in the canoe, a sister and brother look up at the camera, curious but unsmiling. The eight-year-old sister steadies herself with her right hand on the starboard gunwale, her left arm around her younger brother, who is perhaps six years old. They both wear shorts and T-shirts, and their legs and knees are scuffed with dirt. She wears a light turquoise sleeveless T-shirt. Her brother wears a green T-shirt with a bright orange collar and orange sleeves down to his elbows. They wait for their father, who is selling us fruits and vegetables onboard our sailboat. The inside of the canoe has small puddles of water. At the top and bottom of the frame we see deep blue water of the Caribbean Ocean.

The San Blas Archipelago, off the northeastern coast of Panama, is home to the Kuna Yala—an indigenous people that inhabit its 365 coastal islands.  Brother and sister looked up and smiled from their dugout canoe as their father delivered fruits on the stern of our sailboat.  Image made while we were cruising the San Blas in our sailboat 2001.
