The main objective of the article is to analyze, reflect and describe the essential aspects that motivated the Gunadule people to confront the colonial police of the Panamanian State, as well as the subsequent processes of change and transformations that arose from formal education. These transformations were influenced by the ideas that led the Gunas to resist forced integration into so-called “civilized life.” Above all, it seeks to reflect on texts and secondary data that allow the arguments presented to be supported. The research design is based on bibliographic review and documentary analysis. Formal education, as a social institution, played a crucial role in the social and cultural changes after the Dule revolution.
