Viajando a traves del espiritu de nana gapsus

Nana Gapsus is the Kuna name for Mother Night. When Grandfather sun (Ibe) hides, this mother rocks us so that we may rest, so that we may begin another day. Also, under the cover of Mother Night, evil spirits come and the Nuchu (a carved wooden man-like figure) protects us. The travel refers to our dreams, when we sleep.
