Juan Materno Vásquez de León (born September 14, 1927 in Nombre de Dios - died June 21, 1999) was a Panamanian public speaker, lawyer and professor.
His intellectual work was centered on defining the Nature of Being Panamanian.[1] In more than 20 books, television and radio interviews throughout 30 years of public life Juan Materno Vásquez de León's closest definition of a Panamanian was given in the terms of "the Panamanian is that being that is neither black, neither white, neither cholo, neither indio; to the contrary, he is black, white, cholo and Indian."
