Colombian Indigenous Peoples
Colombian Indigenous Peoples are the original inhabitants of Colombia, with diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. There are over 100 distinct Indigenous groups, including the Wayuu, Nasa, and Embera, each with their own unique customs and social structures. They primarily inhabit regions such as the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountains, and the Caribbean coast.
These communities have a deep connection to their ancestral lands and often rely on traditional practices for agriculture, hunting, and fishing. Many Indigenous Peoples in Colombia face challenges such as land rights issues, cultural preservation, and the impact of modern development on their way of life.
