This paper addresses the resistance to political violence of the Nasa people of Tierradentro, Colombia, from a long-term sociohistorical approach. The strategies under which this resistance has been deployed at various junctures are identified and the emergence of the Regional Council of Cauca is analyzed. The work postulates that the Nasa have faced political violence undertaking a process of recreation of the community territoriality. This process is disaggregated into four dimensions that present their own historicity.
