Abstract

NUNEZ BASANTE, Pamela  and  TALAGA CASTRO, Liliana. Migration Process of Nasa Uka Wesx Thäj Community: Factors, Spatial Trajectories and Temporalities. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp.299-320. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.5855.

The indigenous population in Colombia has adopted new forms of mobility job opportunities and education opportunities. This paper was developed in the context of the Nasa native community belonging to the local government council called Uka Wesx Thaj, a group of natives from the Cauca region, currently located at the southwestern side of the city of Santiago de Cali. The methodological approach was based on qualitative techniques through indepth interviews and research on participatory action. The subject of this paper is to analyze the migratory process by the above referenced native community towards a local government council legalization as a process of revindication and cultural strengthening from 2010 until today. This study found that the migratory process was, through family networks, influenced by the search of education and job opportunities besides the forced displacement caused by waves of violence experienced in the Cauca region.

Keywords : Nasa Uka Wesx Thaj; Cali; identity; natives; migration; family networks.
