  • Hydraulic Chiefdoms in the Eastern Andean Highlands of Colombia
    heritage Article Hydraulic Chiefdoms in the Eastern Andean Highlands of Colombia Michael P. Smyth The Foundation for Americas Research Inc., Winter Springs, FL 32719-5553, USA; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 16 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 11 July 2018 Abstract: The natural and cultural heritage of the Valley of Leiva in the Eastern Colombian Andes is closely tied to the Colonial town of Villa de Leyva. The popular tourist destination with rapid economic development and agricultural expansion contrasts sharply with an environment of limited water resources and landscape erosion. The recent discovery of Prehispanic hydraulic systems underscore ancient responses to water shortages conditioned by climate change. In an environment where effective rainfall and erosion are problematic, irrigation was vital to human settlement in this semi-arid highland valley. A chiefly elite responded to unpredictable precipitation by engineering a hydraulic landscape sanctioned by religious cosmology and the monolithic observatory at El Infiernito, the Stonehenge of Colombia. Early Colonial water works, however, transformed Villa de Leyva into a wheat breadbasket, though climatic downturns and poor management strategies contributed to an early 17th century crash in wheat production. Today, housing construction, intensive agriculture, and environmental instability combine to recreate conditions for acute water shortages. The heritage of a relatively dry valley with a long history of hydraulic chiefdoms, of which modern planners seem unaware, raises concerns for conservation and vulnerability to climate extremes and the need for understanding the prehistoric context and the magnitude of water availability today. This paper examines human ecodynamic factors related to the legacy of Muisca chiefdoms in the Leiva Valley and relevant issues of heritage in an Andean region undergoing rapid socio-economic change.

    REGISTRO MARCARIO – No procede registrar como marca aquella que consista en el nombre de las comunidades indígenas, afroamericanas o locales / REGISTRO MARCARIO – Análisis respecto del Signo mixto TISQUESUSA / TISQUESUSA Y LA COMUNIDAD INDÍGENA MUISCA – Importancia / REGISTRO MARCARIO – No procede frente al signo mixto TISQUESUSA para identificar servicios de la clase 43 de la Clasificación Internacional de Niza Tisquesusa, quien nació en 1514, recibió el título de Zipa, título dado al gobernante supremo del Zipasgo, principal división político-administrativa del territorio de la Confederación Muisca antes de la llegada de los españoles. Tisquesusa gobernó durante 24 años y fue el último Zipa de la comunidad indígena Muisca. Un soldado español, al servicio de Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada lo asesinó. La comunidad Muisca, a la que perteneció Tisquesusa, aún hoy, existe como comunidad y habita el altiplano cundiboyacense. El Ministerio del Interior y de Justicia, reconoció en 2006, a comunidades habitantes en Cota, Sesquilé y Chía, como comunidades indígenas Muiscas. En consecuencia, el término Tisquesusa, reproducido en la marca registrada no es un nombre común sino que, tiene una relevancia histórica que lo relaciona de manera directa con la comunidad indígena Muisca. Corolario de lo anterior, la marca registrada se encuentra incursa en el primer supuesto de la causal de irregistrabilidad del artículo 136, literal g), por cuanto el público consumidor al que se dirijan los servicios de la Clase 43 de la Clasificación Internacional de Niza identificados con la marca mixta registrada, Tisquesusa, asociarán erróneamente los servicios ofrecidos con la comunidad indígena Muisca lo que afecta la identidad cultural y valores de la comunidad indígena Muisca.

  • THE COLOMBIAN ROCK ART SPIRAL- a SHAMANIC TUNNEL? by Harry Andrew Marriner B.A
    THE COLOMBIAN ROCK ART SPIRAL- A SHAMANIC TUNNEL? By Harry Andrew Marriner B.A. Pyschology San Diego State University Coordinator Western Cundinamarca Rock Art Investigations GIPRI Colombia February 2003 In the center of any spiral is the calm core through which man passes to eternity. Jill Purce The Mystic Spiral INTRODUCTION Spirals have been found in the form of pictographs or petroglyphs in most countries and cultures throughout the world. A simple design, it’s possibly the most common rock art motif in Colombia, appearing more times in the form of a petroglyph than a pictograph. Colombian petroglyph spirals tend to be curvilinear while pictograph spirals are generally angular and painted in red, however there are many exceptions (Marriner 2002:5). Easy to engrave or paint, they may have been used for both exoteric (for the general public) and esoteric (only for the initiated) purposes in pre-historic Colombian rock art. Identification of the Colombian rock artist and the interpretation of rock art motifs has been the theme of much controversy during the past decade. The computer age and the internet have enabled researchers to disseminate their studies and documentation of rock art sites to a wider audience of interested persons. This has created a much larger and easier-to-access data base of rock art investigations than has been previously possible. As a result, it’s now apparent that more rock art specialists accept the idea that shamans, the religious leaders of most hunter-gatherer societies, were responsible for making most rock art either directly or indirectly. This study examines spirals and their identified uses in different cultures.

  • Scaling up Climate Resilient Water Management Practices for Vulnerable Communities at La Mojana
    Annex II – Feasibility Study GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I Scaling up climate resilient water management practices for vulnerable communities at La Mojana Feasibility Study 30 August 2017 Executive Summary Colombia is exposed to climate related events. Hydrometeorological hazards such as avalanches, floods, flash floods, prolonged dry periods have had the greatest impact on the national territory. During the period 2010 - 2011, the ‘La Niña’ phenomenon caused serious damage in much part of the territory and generated serious social, economic, environmental and political impacts. Because of the magnitude of the disaster, the government declared an economic, social and ecological emergency (Decree 4579 of 2010) and created the Disaster Fund Management (Decree 4709 of 2010) and later the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (Spanish acronym FNGRD). Since then, the government has been strengthening national institutions in order to support the resilience of the population to climate risks, improve safety, welfare and quality of life and contribute towards sustainable development. According to the Third National Communication (TCNCC), climate change scenarios to 2100 indicate that the country as a whole would be affected by climate change and the behaviour of temperature and rainfall would be variable in all regions of Colombia. This implies that each region should take different measures to address the potential impacts of climate change. A gradual change in temperature and precipitation in the country generated by climate change could increase impacts of climatic variability phenomena such as El Niño or La Niña on territories and sectors, which have a greater impact on the territory, and consequently on human health, the rural economy and overall regional competitiveness.

Sampedro Marín, Grupo de Investigación en Biodiversidad Tropical, Universidad de Sucre, Carrera 28 No. 5-267. Sincelejo-Sucre. Colombia. Cellular: 310 602 2262. Abstract : Leptospirosis is one of the most frequent zoonoses worldwide and occurs in tropical, subtropical and temperate areas. The genus Leptospira comprises saprophytic and pathogenic species. The latter isolated from several animals that serve as reservoirs and carriers. The presence of bats in urban areas has increased for various reasons, profusion of plants, lack of predators, presence of luminaries, which has increased the chances of contact between bats, humans and/or pets. The aim of this work was to investigate the presence of pathogenic Leptospira in bats captured in the city of Sincelejo, using the molecular PCR technique. Mist nets were used to capture the bats and these were sacrificed using ether to obtain samples of renal tissue. A fragment of the LipL32 gene was amplified by PCR technique. We identified three families of bats amongst our sample and 26% of them presented pathogenic Leptospira DNA. This represents a great risk to the community in this region. Keywords: Keywords: Chiroptera, bats, leptospires, DNA, zoonoses, infection. Introduction Leptospirosis is recognized as a zoonotic disease of worldwide distribution1 present more frequently in tropical countries.

  • The Legend of Bogota by Mariordo (Mario Robertoby Mariordo Durán Ortiz)Via Wikimedia (Own Work) Commons
    The Legend of Bogota By Mariordo (Mario RobertoBy Mariordo Durán Ortiz)via Wikimedia (Own work) Commons A golden Muisca raft The Muisca people of Colombia had an unusual line of succession for its zipas, or rulers. The zipa’s oldest sister’s oldest son always became the next zipa. Tisquesusa became zipa of the southern Muisca Confederation in 1514 after his uncle died. The Muisca Confederation was one nation of people that was ruled by different people in the north and south. Tisquesusa was as ready as he’d ever be. His family had just come out of mourning for his uncle. They had mummified him and buried him only a few short days before. Beside him in his royal tomb, they placed pottery, food, golden ornaments, and other necessities for the afterlife. Tisquesusa had spent the last days fasting and felt weak but purified. The ceremony was about to start. Tisquesusa solemnly boarded the raft with his attendants and the village holy men by the shores of Lake Guatavita. 1 © 2018 Reading Is Fundamental • Content created by Simone Ribke The Legend of Bogota When the water was about chest-deep, Tisquesusa dropped his ceremonial robe. He let the priests cover his body in a sticky sap. Then they covered him from head to toe in gold dust until he shone and sparkled like the Sun god himself. Tisquesusa submerged himself in the water, purifying himself for his people, for the quality of his reign, and for the goddess of the lake. The people on the shore and those on the raft began to throw gifts of gold and of emeralds into the lake.

  • Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes
    Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Beatriz Goubert All rights reserved ABSTRACT Nymsuque: Contemporary Muisca Indigenous Sounds in the Colombian Andes Beatriz Goubert Muiscas figure prominently in Colombian national historical accounts as a worthy and valuable indigenous culture, comparable to the Incas and Aztecs, but without their architectural grandeur. The magnificent goldsmith’s art locates them on a transnational level as part of the legend of El Dorado. Today, though the population is small, Muiscas are committed to cultural revitalization. The 19th century project of constructing the Colombian nation split the official Muisca history in two. A radical division was established between the illustrious indigenous past exemplified through Muisca culture as an advanced, but extinct civilization, and the assimilation politics established for the indigenous survivors, who were considered degraded subjects to be incorporated into the national project as regular citizens (mestizos). More than a century later, and supported in the 1991’s multicultural Colombian Constitution, the nation-state recognized the existence of five Muisca cabildos (indigenous governments) in the Bogotá Plateau, two in the capital city and three in nearby towns. As part of their legal battle for achieving recognition and maintaining it, these Muisca communities started a process of cultural revitalization focused on language, musical traditions, and healing practices. Today’s Muiscas incorporate references from the colonial archive, archeological collections, and scholars’ interpretations of these sources into their contemporary cultural practices.
