Cuna Industrial Supply & Logistics LLC

 is named in honor of the

Cuna Indians of Central America

The Cuna Indians live on the San Blas Archipelago, a region consisting of more than 365 islands and a strip of land on the Atlantic coast of the Republic of Panama.

It's the birthplace of my wife, Rome.

Cuna people are friendly, industrious, and strongly committed to preserving their rich cultural heritage and pristine tropical environment.

The Cuna appreciate and courageously protect their territory from the rampant slash-and-burn farming and uncontrolled development that have devastated millions of acres of Central and South American rainforest.

They deal with the civilized world on their own terms; accepting only what they find of value while politely insisting visitors keep, and leave, with all the rest.

It's a simple, rugged existence, not a romantic paradise, yet almost all Cuna choose to spend their lives there fishing, hunting, and producing marvelous artwork. Fortunately there are exceptions. That is how a young GI left Panama with his life's treasure, a lovely Cuna willing to give our strange and complex world a try.

Now, many years later, one Cuna-American citizen takes equal pride in her heritage and her adopted country... and she never forgets to remind me the Cuna were already Americans, long before we showed up and started naming things. I feel very happy (and proud) that she found some lasting value in all us late-comers.

Blue skies,
