Los Pueblos Indígenas están estrechamente ligados a su entorno natural. Desde las plantas medicinales a los cultivos básicos, como la yuca, la tierra que habitan sustenta sus sistemas alimentarios y sus medios de vida.
Pueblos indígenas
People whose ancestors inhabited a place or a country when persons from another culture or ethnic background arrived on the scene and dominated them through conquest, settlement, or other means and who today live more in conformity with their own social, economic, and cultural customs and traditions than those of the country of which they now form a part.
