Contributions of memory of the Arhuaca indigenous community of the SNSM

This research is conceived from the desire to be part of the growing awareness of the social sciences about the existence, sometimes conflicting, between the different forms of memory and its connection with history. It is an attempt to approach the memory of the Arhuaca community from its different dimensions and its relationship with the construction of Colombia's historical memory. The research starts from the premise that there is not and has not been a constructive dialogue between the indigenous memory, starting from their cosmovisions and identities with the historical memory of Colombia. Thus, in order to illustrate these differences, we wanted to tell the history of violence in Colombia from the Arhuaca indigenous perspective and contrast it with the partly hegemonic historical memory about the same facts.
