Description in English: The writer Jorge Luis Borges wrote that the book is an extension of memory and imagination. Therefore, dear reader, the book you are about to read is also an extension of knowledge, serving as a source of available knowledge. Reading a book, therefore, is to reclaim a portion of the world that belongs to everyone. Three authors collaborated on this pilot work, which is a socio-cultural and historical study conducted within the Wiwa population. This research stemmed from the need to understand how indigenous communities resolve their territorial conflicts and collect their experiences, with the goal of fostering greater tolerance and reducing violence. Dear reader, this document prompts questioning and reflection. Furthermore, among the Wiwa, individuals carry a lifelong mark, laden with historical significance. In contrast to society, where the individual pays his sentence and usually continues living as if he had committed nothing, he is even seen as free and open to continue committing crimes. Finally, the vision of the Wiwa, in relation to conflict resolution, could become a great mirror for us.
