FILM
I joined the indigenous Naso tribe of Panama |S6-E35|
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A visit with members of the Naso tribe brings a close, place-focused interlude to Itchy Boots’ Season 6 journey from Ecuador to Alaska. Guided by Orlando, the film explores the area where the community lives and the Teribe River’s importance to its people.
About this film
Rather than centring on mileage, this episode follows a visit and the explanations offered along the way. Orlando shows the traveller around the area where members of the Naso tribe live, drawing attention to the relationship between the community and the Teribe River. The river’s significance is central to the account: the description identifies it as important to the people’s existence. The episode forms part of a wider motorcycle-travel series, while its focus here is on meeting people and understanding the place they call home. The visit also stands out in the traveller’s recollection of her time in Panama, making this a reflective chapter in the season.
The journey
The setting is Panama, where the traveller visits members of the Naso tribe. Orlando acts as guide, showing her around their area and explaining the importance of the Teribe River to the community. The episode’s journey is therefore shaped by a local visit and attention to the river’s role, rather than by a described riding route. Within Season 6, titled “Ecuador to Alaska,” this encounter offers a human and geographic pause in the broader motorcycle journey. Its emphasis remains on the visit and the connection between the Naso people and the river.
