Abstract

OSORIO-CALVO, CARLOS ALBERTO  and  SATIZABAL-REYES, MELANIA. The indigenous movement as victim of the armed conflict in Colombia and its commitment to peace from a territorial vision. Hallazgos [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.33, pp.197-219. ISSN 1794-3841.  https://doi.org/10.15332/2422409x.4369.

This article presents a reflection based on the testimony of Colombian indigenous people belonging to the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC), on how some communities and several chapters of the Colombian indigenous movement perceive the impact that the armed conflict has had on the life of the people. A reflection is offered on peace in the context of the tensions created by setting into motion an agreement with one of the armed insurgencies in Colombia. This paper presents the commitment to an understanding of peace within the worldviews of indigenous peoples and in particular of the relationship formed with the territory. The testimonial and documentary materials are derived from extensive research work carried out in the 2012-2016 period on how the armed conflict has affected the autonomy of the indigenous movement in Colombia.

Keywords : conflict; indigenous movement; social movements; peace; territory; victims.
