    • Abstract:
      Según las cosmovisiones indígenas tradicionales, la "naturaleza" no es mero objeto de producción agrícola, explotación de los recursos naturales o de contemplación romántica; por el contrario, la "naturaleza" constituye el permanente campo de acción de la medicina tradicional. La catástrofe de la avalancha de lodo ocurrida el 6 de junio de 1994 que los indígenas paeces (Nasa) de Tierradentro (Cauca, Combia) interpretaron a partir de su mitología, puso en marcha procesos de reflexión e intensificación de su vida ritual: los "médicos tradicionales" plantearon la necesidad de revivir los rituales ancestrales, con el objeto de "refrescar" la tierra "calentada", de prevenir las "malas energías" del cóndor kduul y de alimentar y curar a los "hermanos mayores" del cosmos. El siguiente artículo interpreta al ritual saakhelu, por medio del cual los Nasa de Tierradento realizan una curación periódica de su territorio. ; In traditional indigenous cosmovisions, "nature" is not only essential to food production, exploitation of soil and other natural resources; on the contrary it constitutes a permanent field of medical-religious practice. The mudslide catastrophe, which occurred on 6 June, 1994, was interpreted by the Indians in terms of their traditional mythical categories and led, among the Nasa (Páez) of Tierradentro (Cauca, Colombia), to an intensified process of reflection and to an intensification of their ritual life. The shamans postulated as absolutely necessary a revival of the ancestors’ rituals, aiming at human action to "cool down" the "heated" earth, to avert the cosmic disaster brought by the condor kduul, as well as to feed the "Older Brothers" of the cosmos and to heal them. The following article tries to interpret the saakhelu ritual which is celebrated by the Nasa in the Tierradentro area to "heal" the territory periodically.
