Our Vision:

En 1991, cerca de 200 indígenas Wounáan de la comunidad de Curiche en la Costa Pacífica norte se desplazan hacia Juradó, presos del terror por las agresiones propinadas y las amenazas de los narcotraficantes. Estas mismas comunidades en diciembre de 2000 (frente a un ataque de las FARC a Juradó), salen hacia Panamá; cuatro meses más tarde retornan a Colombia.
