Campaign for peace

 

«LOS PENDONES DE LA PAZ, EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR RECONCILIATION IN COLOMBIA»

It is a proposal that seeks to promote peace in a country that has been burdened by war and violent conflicts for more than half a century, through the exhibition “Los pendones de la paz/The banners of Peace”, a series of conferences and / or educational campaigns for schools (according to what is required by the interested entity).

The educational campaign focuses on a chronicle entrusted to Urbina by Grandfather Gaïduama, from the Uitoto nation, in 1995. It tells how two tribes from the Uitoto and Karijona nations, who were fighting to the death, were able to sit down to do the peace agreement, that they sealed exchanging songs and choreographies. This exchange gave rise among the Uitotos to the dance-of-Karijona, a ritual event that is still practiced in the Colombian Amazon. The event could have occurred in the second half of the 19th century, before the rubber factories, in the Guaimaraya region, above Araracuara, in the middle course of the Caquetá River. From this chronicle Professor Urbina took inspiration to write the poem, SITTING TO MAKE PEACE.

SENTARSE PARA HACER LA PAZ

Nibonarí, el joven,
Con su hermana Fenayïagno,
Logró una tregua entre los contendores.

Entonces, los jefes se sentaron.
Ya, enfrentados,
Descubrieron que el otro era Valiente
Y digno de Confianza.

Y sellaron la Paz.

Fue cuando aprendimos
Las canciones y el baile de los otros,
Y ellos también tomaron lo que es nuestro.

–¡Miren ahí!
–Decían nuestros pueblos.
–¡Miren ahí a los jefes
Sentados frente a frente,
Como Hombres de Verdad y de Justicia
Forjando la ancha paz con su Palabra!

-Fernando Urbina Rangel – 1995-

Texto inspirado en una crónica del Abuelo Gaïduama
sobre las guerras Uitoto-Karijona
