Colombia's Arhuacos strive for harmony with Mother Nature
The Indigenous people of the Sierra Nevada live peacefully in a land of conflict
The ways of the Arhuacos were declared intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO in November, along with those of three other Indigenous communities in northern Colombia's Sierra Nevada — the Kogui, Wiwa and Kankuamo.

@MLClark I am sure you know of these.
@corlin I do indeed! I've even been in spaces where they live, while keeping a respectful distance from members going about their lives.
Do you remember how films in Western theatres used to be preceded by docu-news films? (And I think in theatres in India that's still often the case?)
Here, wee documentaries heavily focused on Indigenous communities and their ways routinely come before feature films in theatre. It's such a wonderful, easy way to connect Colombians with their local heritage.
