Today, Colombia is home to around one hundred indigenous peoples who have survived centuries of violence, once caused by the Spanish conquest, now by criminal groups. Data indicates that in 2023, Colombia concentrated almost half of the global murders of human rights defenders. Behind these results is a clear reason why Colombia is so deadly for human rights defenders: the cultivation of cocaine and marijuana. Cauca is one of the departments with the highest production of coca and marijuana and is the area where most of the 240,000 inhabitants of the Nasa ethnic group live. In the Toribío area, every day at sunset, hundreds of hectares of coca and marijuana fields light up and when it gets dark these lights seem to turn into constellations. The hours of artificial light allow for very abundant harvests, so much so that Toribío is the largest marijuana production hub in Colombia and drug trafficking is managed by one of the dissident fronts of the FARC, who violently recruit children to fight for the expansion of plantations as well. When this happens, a rupture occurs, a violent separation of a member of the community from their territory, their roots and their traditions.
