The Nukak-Makú is a nomad tribe which has lived in the Amazon following the same customs and
traditions for centuries. They eat monkeys that they hunt with blowguns and berries they find on
the ground.
A few months ago and for some strange reason, about 80 of them have decided to come out of the
wilderness and declared that they are ready to join the modern world. They say they don't want to
go back; they want to stay near the town, plant their food and they're asking for help from the
town. The town they are talking about is San José del Guaviare, in the south of Colombia.
It is obvious that the Nukak's experience as nomads has not prepared them to live a modern life.
They have no concept of money, of property, of the role of the government; some do not even
know that Colombia is a country.
The Nukak are one of the very few indigenous communities that have lived in relative isolation in
the Amazon basin. In 2003, some of them left the wilderness and came to San José del Guaviare
looking for safety after Colombia's war had come to their reserve and forced them out. About 250
of them live in San José, which is the same number that anthropologists suspect are still living in
the jungle.
When asked about the reasons why they left the jungle, some of them said that the Green Nukak,
possibly the guerrilla, told them to leave. They told them they could not keep walking in the jungle
if they did not want trouble. Government officials think that farmers growing coca could also have
told them to leave. Another theory is that another Nukak clan pushed this one out. Since they claim
that the war forced them to leave their land, they are considered displaced people and the
government has to provide them with aid. The problem is that if they cannot go back to their
homeland for a long time, they will become dependent and they won't learn how to live in their
new world.
In spite of the difficulties, the Nukaks are very happy in their new home and they have no plans of
returning to the jungle. They enjoy the food they get, the pots, pans, shoes, caps and pants. They
love the matches, eggs, onions and soap, something they had never seen before. Now their feet
don't hurt because of the long walks of their jungle days.
The Nukak have plans to grow plantains and yuca, to take the crops into town and exchange them
for money and then buy other things. But first they need to learn how to cultivate crops. They just
want a spot to settle down. It has to be close to a town and on the edge of a forest. They do not
want armed men around, or cocaine. The spot must have nuts, monkeys and water. A place to call
home!

night. He was very affected by this episode.
