"We are now in our sacred place... The strength and struggles of our elders, and of course the spiritual strength, reinforces our struggle as a people every day. The strength of our guardians comes from our sacred sites. Welcome, all, to this place of thought in Simipaná, where our guardians are - the source of light and life in our territory."

"The Cáñamono Lomaprieta Indigenous Reserve... is a reserve of colonial origin, a 'resguardo' that has had a resistance for more than 500 years... [since] the whole process of colonisation began, of the entire continent, and towards the land of what is today Caldas. The colonisers arrived here very early as a result of all the gold."
