Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    The Rama are regularly exposed to being struck by stingray barbs as there are both freshwater and saltwater varieties, and they are most likely to be encountered while loading/unloading a dory, leaving/coming ashore, picking oysters or carckle, or by children looking for the big clawed lagoon shrimps under rocks, or just playing near the shore. This is particularly worrisome for the oyster and carckle pickers during times when the water is deeper and they can't see well and have to "dive" to pick them. Before the hurricane there were lots of stingrays at the mouth of Cane Creek, especially in the evening as they were said to come to sleep there. The hurricane, however, caused the beach and previously large creek mouth to wash away.
    It is said that if even a small stingray strikes you in the guts, your guts pop and you die. The Rama make various poultices to put on the wound if struck, for example, bitter cassava. Kiswa is not eaten. As of 2009, however, even stingrays were said to be relatively scarce, as an entrepreneur had started buying stingrays for export a few years earlier, and the Ramas (both from Rama Cay and down the coast) along with others heavily fished it.
    Los Ramas están expuestos al aguijoneo de las rayas, hay variedades de agua dulce y salada. Es posible encontrarlas al cargar o descargar el cayuco; al llegar o salir a la playa, recogiendo almejas, o por los niños-as buscando langostinos bajo las rocas, o jugando cerca de la playa. Esto es preocupante para los recolectores de ostiones y berberechos durante los días cuando el agua es profunda y no pueden ver bien y tienen que “bucear” para recogerlas. Hay muchas rayas en la boca de Cane Creek, especialmente en la tarde porque dicen que llegan a dormir allí. Se dice que sí una raya, aunque sea pequeña, te aguijonea en el abdomen, se inflama y te mueres. El pueblo Rama elabora varios tipos de cataplasmas para cubrir las heridas que hacen las rayas, por ejemplo, de yuca amarga. El Kiswa no se come. Sin embargo, a partir del 2009, hasta las rayas son escasas. Un empresario empezó a comprarlas para exportación hace unos pocos años (2006), y desde entonces, empezaron a capturarlas en grandes cantidades.
