Getting to the Indigenous hamlet of Kia in the Panamanian province of Chiriqui is no walk in the park. First you gotta get to the hot, steamy town of Tole, about six hours west by bus from Panama City. That’s the easy part. Then you ride for the better part of a half-hour in the bed of - or very precariously hanging off the back of - a pickup truck as it crashes over a “road” that would kill my Civic back home dead in a New York minute.

An indigenous Ngäbe protester, Onesimo Rodriguez, was killed Friday 22 March 2013 in the hamlet of Las Nubes, Chiriquí province, after attending a rally against the controversial Barro Blanco hydroelectric dam. It was World Water day.
