The Ette of northern Colombia call their most respected leaders kraanti. One of the last holders of this honorary title, Samuel Sánchez Macías, recently passed away, leaving a great void in their community. The project of resistance and revitalization that he led throughout his life is, to a large extent, the same undertaken by the Ette people since the mid-twentieth century. His life story is the history of resistance and revitalization of his people.

Palabras clave : Ette; Chimila; obituary; indigenous leader; life story.
