| description |
Respect for the ancestral territories of the ethnic communities in Colombia has represented a historical point of social friction and constant violence between the different protagonists of violent conflicrt in our country. This text approaches and addresses the normative and jurisprudential plexus related to the protection of the sacred spaces of the Arhuaco, Kogui, Wiwa, and Kankuamo peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, set down or delimited in what these ethnic communities have called the “Black Line” (Séshizha, in the Kagaba language of the Kogui people; Shetana Zhiwa, in the Damana language of the Wiwa people; or Seykutukunumaku, in the Iku language of the Kankuamo people), a spiritual, cultural, and physical concept of the Law of Origin.
The recognition by the Colombian State of the indigenous communities of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, and of their sacred and ancestral sites, through various actions of the branches of public power –administrative acts and court decisions– is a great step towards understanding the importance of ethnic minorities, advocating for the respect and conservation of natural resources and the relevance of both their material and spiritual lives. For this reason, it is appropriate to study whether the normative scaffolding is sufficient and adequate for the preservation and maintenance of the sacred sites that comprise the “Black Line”, which is found in the ancestral memory of the spiritual authorities of our “elder brothers”. |

El respeto por los territorios ancestrales de las comunidades étnicas en Colombia ha representado un punto histórico de fricción social y violencia constante entre los distintos protagonistas de la violencia de nuestro país. El presente documento se próxima y aborda el plexo normativo y jurisprudencial relacionados con la protección de los espacios sagrados de los pueblos arhuaco, kogui, wiwa y kankuamo de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, consignados o delimitados en lo que dichas comunidades étnicas han denominado como la “Línea Negra” (Séshizha, en la lengua kággaba del pueblo kogui; Shetana Zhiwa, en la lengua damana del pueblo wiwa; o Seykutukunumaku, en la lengua iku del pueblo kankuamo), concepto espiritual, cultural y físico de la Ley de Origen. El reconocimiento del Estado colombiano a las comunidades indígenas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, de sus sitios sagrados y ancestrales a través de varias manifestaciones de las ramas de poder público —actos administrativos y sentencias—, constituye un gran paso para entender la importancia de las minorías étnicas que propende por el respeto y conservación de los recursos naturales y la relevancia tanto en sus vidas materiales como espirituales, por tal razón es apropiado estudiar si el andamiaje normativo es suficiente y adecuado para que se conserve y mantenga los sitios sagrados que delimitan la “Línea Negra” y que se encuentra en la memoria ancestral de las autoridades espirituales de nuestros hermanos mayores. O respeito pelos territórios ancestrais das comunidades étnicas na Colômbia tem representado um ponto histórico de fricção social e de violência constante entre os diferentes protagonistas da violência no país. Este documento se aproxima da estrutura normativa e jurisprudencial relacionada com a proteção dos espaços sagrados dos povos Arhuaco, Kogui, Wiwa e Kankuamo da Serra Nevada de Santa Marta, consignados ou delimitados naquilo a que essas comunidades étnicas chamaram a “Linha negra” (Séshizha, na língua Kággaba do povo Kogui, Shetana Zhiwa, na língua Damana do povo Wiwa, ou Seykutukunumaku, na língua Ikudel do povo Kankuamo), um conceito espiritual, cultural e físico da Lei de Origem. O reconhecimento pelo Estado Colombiano das comunidades indígenas da Serra Nevada de Santa Marta, dos seus locais sagrados e ancestrais através de diversas manifestações dos ramos do poder público — atos administrativos e julgamentos — é um grande passo para compreender a importância das minorias étnicas, que proponde pelo respeito e pela conservação dos recursos naturais, bem como pela relevância para a sua vida material e espiritual. Por essa razão, é conveniente estudar se a estrutura normativa é suficiente e adequada para preservar e manter os locais sagrados que delimitam a “Linha negra” e que se encontram na memória ancestral das autoridades espirituais dos nossos irmãos mais velhos. 2020-07-01 2021-03-17T20:25:25Z 2021-03-17T20:25:25Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo revisado por pares https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/iusta/article/view/6271 10.15332/25005286.6271 http://hdl.handle.net/11634/32630 spa https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/iusta/article/view/6271/5917 Derechos de autor 2021 Autores/as http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Santo Tomás, Bogotá-Colombia IUSTA; No. 53 (2020); 45-67 IUSTA; Núm. 53 (2020); 45-67 2500-5286 1900-0448 |
