Wiwa people
The Wiwa are an Indigenous people of the south-eastern and eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia, one of the four peoples regarded as heirs of the Tairona. They speak a Chibchan language, Damana, and share with the Kogi, Arhuaco and Kankuamo a tradition led by mamos. Many Wiwa were displaced by Colombia's armed conflict in the late 20th century.
