Colombia’s Guardians of the Homelands

Season 8 Episode 810

Homelands of the Arhuaco and the Wayúu people of northern Columbia offer sharp contrasts. Arhuaco occupy the southern slopes of the gigantic and isolated Sierra Marta, while the Wayúus live in the semiarid Guajira Peninsula in the Sierra’s rain shadow. Both suffer from relentless incursions of outsiders, each responding with its own brand of resistance.
