Focusing on the clothing practices of the Emberá people in Panama, this ethnography explores how indigenous cultures are often misrepresented and misunderstood through various filters. By examining the intersection of tradition and tourism, it highlights the complexities of cultural visibility and the potential distortions that can arise from external perceptions. The study sheds light on the power dynamics involved in the representation of indigenous identity in the context of globalization and tourism.
