Yacua Gami means Metal Weaving in Kogi language.
When the Spaniards arrived in Northern Colombia 500 years ago, the Kogi
fled high into the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. They believe the Sierra
Nevada to be the "Mother" and the "Heart of the World." The Sierra
Nevada, in the shape of a pyramid, rises from the sunny coasts of the
Caribbean tropics to the chilly, snow-capped peaks that reach a height
of 17,000 feat above sea level, all in only 30 vertical miles. It is
isolated from the Andes range, but can be viewed spiritually as the
crown chakra of the Andes. The Kogi are the direct descendants of the
Tairona civilization. The Tairona culture flourished in Northern
Colombia around 1,000 AD. They left behind stunning gold artwork, stone
and pottery artifacts and an amazing network of brick roads covering the
Sierra Nevada. Kogi society has changed little in the past five
centuries. They survived as a culture because the Kogi focus all their
energy on the life of the mind as opposed to the life of a body or an
individual. Fundamental to that survival is the maintenance of physical
separation from their world and our own. The Kogi do not allow anyone
into their land. They are very protective of their sacred space and the
dense jungle is not kind to tourists.
