The Culture

Kogi Culture and Cultivating Harmony

The Kogi have an ancient culture and worldview, which they believe they need to share and we need to understand in order to stop us from destroying the world.

Since 1990, through their films and by establishing a political presence of their own indigenous government they are seeking to influence Colombia and the wider world. This section describes some of their cultural traditions.

Support Us

The Kogi message is important for us all. They consider themselves to be the guardians of the earth and are worried by our attempts to destroy it. They want their voice and knowledge to be heard around the world and for us to take action to protect the planet that we all share.

The Kogi need your help to do this.
