Episode 2

Taking care of the earth

 

In addition to the appreciation of the spiritual world, for the U'wa, Guna Dule and Pastos peoples, one of the most important aspects in the conception of The Living Well is the correct material and spiritual relationship with Mother Earth, giver of life and foundation of the existence of all the elements of the material world. In this generic sense, territories are not only geographic spaces with natural resources, but sacred spaces of political organization, own authority, own language and a complex set of cultural knowledge and practices.
