CAMPION, Minerva. Remembering the Past and Remembering the Attacks: Cross-Border Relationship of the Pastos indigenous community in the Huaca Knotch. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.16, pp.243-262. ISSN 1900-6586.

This article presents the cross-border integration process of the indigenous group Pasto from the Nudo de Waka, located in the borderlands of Ecuador-Colombia. For doing so, we analyse the meaning of the boundary for the Pasto, and the processes of fragmentation and reconstruction that take place in the margins of these States. The method used to carry out this research has been descriptive and hermeneutic. It allows us to do a reflection on the processes happening in the borderlands, as well as understanding the implications of living in that territory through the indigenous perspective. Moreover, we will also take into account the integration dynamics developed by the Pasto, their role as political subjects and the revalorization of their identity through cross-border activities.

Keywords : attack; Ecuador-Colombia border; indigenous Pasto people; Knot Waka.
