Ngäbe-Buglé is the largest and most populous of Panama's three ''comarcas indígenas''. It was created in 1997 from lands formerly belonging to the provinces of Bocas del Toro, Chiriquí, and Veraguas. The capital is known as Buäbti in Ngäbere and Llano Tugrí in Spanish. The ''comarca'' is divided in nine districts. District (Capital): # Besiko (Soloy) # Jirondai (Samboa) # Kankintú (Bisira) # Kusapín (Kusapín) # Mirono (Hato Pilón) # Müna (Chichica) # Nole Duima (Cerro Iglesias) # Ñürüm (Buenos Aires) # Santa Catalina o Calovébora (Bledeshia) (Santa Catalina o Calovébora (Bledeshia)) ==History== Starting in 1972, the Panamanian government was required to establish comarcas, demarcated regions in which indigenous groups possess exclusive land rights and considerable administrative autonomy.〔("Guaymí" ) Minority Rights Group International, December 2008. Retrieved on 2010-02-16.〕 Within comarcas, people elect a General assembly, governor, and any number of regional and local leaders, although the government still controls public expenditure and tax revenues within the territory.〔Aguilar and García-Huidobro 5〕 The comarca Ngäbe-Buglé, located in north western Panama, was formed in 1997 both as a latent result of government promise and of considerable political pressure from the Ngäbe-Buglé, united by threats of natural resource exploitation and environmental degradation on their ancestral lands.〔 The territory is made up of land previously belonging to the provinces of Bocas del Toro, Chiriquí, and Veraguas, and divided into seven districts (listed above with capitals); the capital of the entire comarca is Büäbti, located in the Müna district. As the Ngäbe-Buglé population tends to identify more with their communities than with an ethnicity and is distributed rather unevenly, the political organization that prompted the formation of their comarca is fairly unusual, but nonetheless demonstrates a powerful capacity to influence government actions.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
