Zaku 'Spirit of Mother Earth' by Gobinder Jhitta
Once an isolated and largely uncontacted group of communities, driven high up the sloping land by war and outside interference, they are now a beacon of hope to those around the world seeking an answer to the treacherous situation we find ourselves in. Having watched the snow on the peak of their most sacred mountain (the form of which inspired the conical white hats they wear and the name of which is known only to them) slowly retreat due to global warming, the Arhuaco, Kogi, Wiwa, and Kankuamo peoples have recognised the need for spreading their message. Since the early 90s, they have begun to allow periodic documentation of their home, their lives and their rituals of conservation, in the hope that they will inspire their Younger Brothers to adopt a similar mindset.
