Gunabia and Duiyarin, members of Arhuaco indigenous community, bringing back a lamb to the village. The mother has left the lamb up in the mountains the day before. Herding is among principal economic activities of the Arhucao. All community members, including the youths, have a incredible knowledge regarding their surrounding nature. This is not only due to the importance of nature in their daily life, but as an inseparable part of their spirituality. Arhuacos are one of the most unique indigenous communities living in the Sierra Nevada in the north east of Colombia.
