12.7 of Panamas population are indigenous people comprising of 7 tribes. Their villages are not accessible by road, but only by boat. The area where they live has no electricity and negligible phone coverage (and so no internet), so their lifestyles are certainly different from those of the 'civilised' world. I have been very fortunate to visit them not only as a tourist but also on a trip to help them with their tours. 

Previously they all lived in the Darién, both on the Panamanian and Colombian sides, but now live in Chagres National Park - much closer to Panama City and thus more accessible.  When the area was declared a National Park they were allowed to remain, but were forbidden from hunting, and from chopping down any forest in order to plant crops.  They have now introduced chickens to their small villages, but the restrictions of the National Park make it harder for them to survive, so some of the villages have opened themselves up to tourism as a needed source of income.

The Emberá traditionally live off what they can gather, hunt or fish, with a few other products purchased in occasional trips into town, financed by the sale of their own produce.
