Entre dos mundos reconocimiento de las dinámicas en la comunidad Nukak en el asentamiento de Agua Bonita

Abstract

The Nukak people, one of the most affected populations, have experienced drastic changes in their way of life, diet and reproduction, compromising their survival. This highlights the urgent need for the State to adopt specific health policies that recognize and respect its culture. According to Mahecha and Franky (2011) “Currently, the Nukak population is estimated at 600 people, of which 25% are in the vicinity of San José del Guaviare in a situation of forced displacement.” This project focuses on addressing identified needs, connecting viable solutions with affected communities. Indigenous communities in Colombia have suffered violations of their individual and collective rights during the armed conflict, which has resulted in a loss of territorial and cultural identity. The Nukak tribe, the last nomadic community in the country, faces multiple challenges that hinder its social development, including internal violence in the region. This violence has left deep marks on their daily lives, creating a hostile environment that limits their ability to thrive. The lack of stability and security has impacted their social cohesion and access to basic resources. It is essential to address these challenges from a humanitarian perspective and seek sustainable solutions that promote their comprehensive development. This study seeks to understand the complexity of the situation and advocate for measures that restore peace and balance in the lives of this vulnerable community. In addition, it seeks to understand the current social dynamics and aspects of habitability in the settlement of Agua Bonita, as well as the changes it has suffered in these aspects as a result of displacement and its current fixed environment.
