Ngobe Buglere tribe in southern Costa Rica began a 300
kilometer march to the capital to demand territorial
autonomy. Another 400 indigenous Costa Ricans from
the Brunca, Bribri, Teribe and Cabecar tribes are to

- By N‚fer Muñoz, IPS, 12 July 2000. Indigenous
groups in Costa Rica are using radio waves to preserve
their cultures and traditions, resolve community problems
and spread news from their villages in their own

Boruca are three rural radio stations that have set the
standard.
