Abstract
NINO VARGAS, Juan Camilo. The Legacy of the Last Great Kraanti. Obituary for Samuel Sánchez, an Ette Leader. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.55, n.1, pp.299-313. ISSN 0486-6525. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.594.
The Ette of northern Colombia call their most respected leaders kraanti. One of the last holders of this honorary title, Samuel Sánchez Macías, recently passed away, leaving a great void in their community. The project of resistance and revitalization that he led throughout his life is, to a large extent, the same undertaken by the Ette people since the mid-twentieth century. His life story is the history of resistance and revitalization of his people.
