  • Etnográfica:
    Harpoon sometimes only refers only to the metal barbed "blade" which fits into the carved wooden staff. Used to hunt sea turtle, large fish such as snook and tarpon, manatee. The staff and barb are fashioned by Rama men for their own use; these days the line is plastic rope bought in Bluefields, and because money is needed to buy it, the line is often thought of as more valuable than the staff and barb, which they spend days making.
