Cueva was an

misclassified within linguistic studies.[2] The Cueva people experienced a significant population decline between 1510 and 1535 due to conflicts, diseases, and the effects of Spanish colonization. By the 17th and 18th centuries, the Guna
had migrated into the former Cueva territory, repopulating the area.

Classification

Loukotka[3] mistakenly identified a Guna vocabulary from the Darién as Cueva, leading to confusion of Cueva with Guna in subsequent literature [4], with some authors reporting that Cueva was a dialect of or ancestral to the Guna language [5]. The Guna language and culture are very different from the Cueva.
