Resumen
CALLE ALZATE, Laura. Between Violence, Colonization, and Allocation of Reserves. Sikuani Stories of Abandonment, Dispossession and Recovery of the Territory. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.1, pp.91-122. ISSN 0486-6525.
The history of the Sikuani people has been associated with the Colonization and usurpation of their ancestral lands, which has caused the breakdown of cultural ties and identity. From a historical and ethnographic perspective, this article discusses two moments associated with forced abandonment and dispossession of the Sikuani territory. Based on accounts of the past and memories of the resguardo Wacoyo inhabitants, I examine the period of La Violencia in the 1950s and the allocation of reservas in the 1960s and 1970s as key moments for explaining the constitution of current Sikuani territoriality, and the meanings and significance that present day Sikuani give to the territorial dispossession of the past. The article values and makes visible indigenous narratives and the associated dispossession.
