| Summary: | In the context of confronting colonialism and coloniality, the Payayá people resisted systematic banishment, violence, rape and the declaration of our extinction. Yapira, as the place of Payayá’s "here", emerged as Indigenous Territory in our movement to reclaim it at the end of the 20th century, in an ontological and metaphysical way: the possibility of being (identity) and responsibility (otherness). This paper discusses the process of dispossession as a strategy of colonial domination, pointing to the importance of place for the processes of indigenous peoples taking back their land. |
