Abstract

IMBETT-VARGAS, Erika Solange  and  MONTERROZA-RIOS, Álvaro David. Identity artifact analysis of Emberá Katío indigenous community (Jaidukama indigenous reservation in Ituango, Antioquia). Ágora U.S.B. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp.173-186. ISSN 1657-8031.  https://doi.org/10.21500/16578031.3449.

The results of the descriptive and technical analysis of identity artifacts of the Emberá Katío indigenous community of the Jaidukama indigenous protected area, located in the Municipality of Ituango, State of Antioquia (Colombia), shows us that, in order to understand the cultural relationships mediated by artifacts, it is necessary to establish a relational analysis between the individual and the group of people who use them, the cultural context, and the material and symbolic action that the artifact conveys. This is the case of the Chindau and the Jawaho, which are two objects with mechanical and physical capabilities that meet functions, which make possible daily practical activities in the community.
