The Embera-Wounaan, are a semi-nomadic Indigenous people in Panama living in Darién Province on the shores of the Chucunaque, Sambú, and Tuira Rivers and their waterways. The Embera-Wounaan were formerly and widely known by the name Chocó, and they speak the Embera and Wounaan languages, part of the Choco language family.
The name Embera means "people". They can be divided into two major groups: the Emberá, of upper Atrato and San Juan rivers, and the Wounaan (or Waunana) of the lower San Juan River.
