Abstract
The recent violence against the colombian indigenous people is integral: it is not only political or socio-economic, but also cultural and symbolic. Their resistance struggles show that, rather than passive victims, they are socio-political actors with a different life project. In this resistance, the short and long memories constructed by the native people of the country with a deep political sense are highlighted. This article considers the plural memories that are in constant dispute over the meaning of the past, both within indigenous communities and the rest of the Colombian society. It focuses its analysis in cases from Cauca and La Guajira.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
