Duidahk (Wounaan) The ladder serves as both a practical tool and a powerful metaphor. It symbolizes connections with ancestors, the universe, other worlds, and one another. In the Chocó rainforests, where the Wounaan people live, it is particularly useful because their houses are several meters above the ground, protecting them from the frequent floods.
