Abstract
The preliminary findings of research carried out on behalf of the Fundación Caminos de Identidad (FUCAI) are brought together in this article: the historical memory of violence experiences, and their resistance, and the non-violent transformative power of the indigenous peoples of the Amazonic Trapezia in Colombia and of the Peba area of the Peruvian Amazon. During the research process participants from the Tikuna, Cokama and Yagua peoples in the Amazonic Trapezia in Colombia, and from the Bora, Okaina, Murui-Muiane and Yagua groups in the Peba Amazon in Peru, became aware of the importance that they give to memory, the wounds that have not yet scarred over, and their meanings, along with the expression and reach of their resistance to violence, and the non-violent transformative power of their words which they say have enabled them to make a complete transition from ‘victims’ to ‘victorious survivors’. The work was supported and carried out under the auspices of the National Center for Historical Memory.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
