What would happen without the unity for survival as people?: Indigenous identity, Tierradentro, Cauca, Colombia

Abstract

The present investigation throws conceptual, theoretical and oral foundations, from the political memory of the Elders who have contributed to the organizational political process at local, zonal and regional level in the land recoveries in the Quiguanás village, in Inzá - Cauca municipality, as a strategy of struggle and resistance to continue speaking in the Regional Indigenous Council from Cauca - RICC. The results obtained are based on the stories of life, of each of the Elders who are part of the memory of the community and who are being forgotten in modern times, so it is necessary to begin a process of awareness in the youth of the community so that they value their political and spiritual knowledge to live well and in harmony with our Mother Earth. Therefore, the basis of the indigenous movement is the unity in the diversity of thoughts for the claim of collective rights from the resistance and recovery of Mother Earth as the fundamental axis of the indigenous being to survive in time and space as being Nasa , thought that has been bequeathed to the next generations
