The Dule rebellion, also known historically as the Kuna Revolution, was an event of great significance in indigenous history in Panama, which occurred in the region today known as Gunayala (formerly San Blas). The Guna took up arms against the assimilation and tax policy of the governments of Belisario Porras and Rodolfo Chiari to defend their human rights of territoriality, identity and spirituality in February 1925. It was a historical event that had been stirring since the 1910s and that broke out in February 1925 when the Guna communities, with the guidance of leaders such as Ologindibipilele (Colman), Iguaibiliginia (Nele Kantule) and Inabaginia, began the strategic planning of this historical feat. However, it was the towns of Yandub/Nargana (Narganá)
and Aggwanusadub (Corazón de Jesús) where the cultural changes began and at the same time the first revolts against the Panamanian government, since children and women were forced to dance to music foreign to their culture late at night, to remove their mola clothing, thus eliminating their customs and Guna identity. Today they are considered martyr towns for being the first to rise in 1919, despite the presence of government police institutions.
