Panamanians

Isthmus country citizens

Panamanians are the people of Panama, the Central American country connecting North and South America at its narrowest point.

The term covers citizens, residents, and those of Panamanian descent: Panamanians have long navigated the cultural influences of both continents.

The Panama Canal has shaped Panamanian identity and economy since its completion in 1914.
