Panama was originally home to a diverse range of Amerindian peoples. Then, it was invaded and conquered by Spain. Later, it achieved independence from Spain as part of Colombia, then broke off to become its own nation before a mixture of British, French, and American groups basically took over and opened up the nation to international businesses. Considering this heritage, it's probably not surprising that Panama’s largest recognized ethnic category is 'mixed'. Approximately 65% of Panamanians today identify as mestizos. Blocs

Afro-Panamanian Village.
