Rama

The Rama are an indigenous people of southeastern Nicaragua, whose lands extend from the Bluefields lagoon toward the Punta Gorda River. Their language belongs to the Chibchan family. River channels, forest and coastal lagoons form the landscape of their communities. Tradition relates that the Rama were granted an island in the Bluefields lagoon after helping the Miskito in a conflict; it became known as Rama Cay.
