The pre-columbian societies in Central America were the Mayas and the Aztecs and, if you include the Caribbean in Central America as if often (though inaccurately) done, then you have the Caribs, the Arawaks and the Tainos among others.

The first question doesn't make sense. Should be "city" not "cities".

The San Blas natives' name is given as Kuna or Cuna, but not Guna.

Good quiz. (You might check out mine on Panama and the Canal Zone.)

The ancient Maya people were not unified under one polity and had multiple city states, so "capital" doesn't really make sense here. Tikal was indeed one of the biggest sites and led a league of its own, so consider rephrasing the clue to reflect this for accuracy?
