Traditionally Nicaragua’s Caribbean coastal region has been populated by three indigenous peoples – the Miskito, Mayagna and Rama – and the Afro-descendant Garifuna and Creole groups. They have been largely left to run their own affairs in accordance with local custom and tradition, and autonomy laws bar the sale of communal lands. (AP Photo/Esteban Felix)
