PEACE MEAL – Brothers dinner together
From of all communities we had visited, we invited Kogis to the PEACE DINNER

Fourth Kogis meeting: Kogis from Kuinyimake and San Antonio
It took several days of preparation and a meeting in advance with one of the three Kogi-Mamas so that this encounter could take place
Our third Kogis’ visit leads us to the Kogi-community Seiviaka including spending the night there
The Seiviaka-community lives in a village further above in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Tungueka – The second visit to the Kogis
The drive to the Tungueka´s Kogi-village passes off over scree, through water and narrow roads.
Duanamake – A Kogui-community in Colombia
With respect and in dignity we stand at the entrance of the village which is marked in the earth by a big heart-shaped stone.
