In Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range, Ofrenda A’bunna is working to recuperate the ancestral lands surrounding the Arhuaco Reservation by buying the land back one parcel at a time. Thousands of acres have been returned to the Arhuaco people to date, all of which are collectively owned, and over 70% are dedicated to the regeneration of native forests. Arhuaco families use the remaining land to organically grow food, fibers, and medicine for their community, as well as coffee that provides income for their economic self-determination. Ofrenda A’bunna has developed a multi-generational plan, which includes traditional education taught in the Arhuaco language, to ensure this territory is cared for over the long-term.
