Cueva people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cueva was the name assigned by Spanish colonists to various indigenous populations they encountered in Eastern Panama. Although it has been used variously to describe a specific ethnicity, many scholars believe that the peoples who used the Cueva language belonged to multiple ethnolinguistic groups, and that this language was in fact a lingua franca.[1]
