hello, today i will be talking about the Wayuu tribe
in la Guajira peninsula located in northern Colombia and in the northwest
of Venezuela. The Wayuu tribe is an amerindian ethnic group, their main
language is Wayuunaiki. their culture directly associates economy and
social life with music; such as the case of raising cattle
They only represent 20% of the colombia's total
amerindian population. Wayuu lands on the border with venezuela have
been granted for mining by the colombian tourist agency, which means their rights
are being discriminated even though the Colombian constitution recognizes the
rights of the indigenous. The Wayuu tribe are always away from the city
which means not a lot of discrimination is not involved, only territory wise. I think that the Wayuu
should get more privilege to their lands because they work to hard on what
they do to maintain their land sustainable for their living.
