In the beginning, there was a blackness.
Only the sea.
In the beginning there was no sun, no moon, no people.
In the beginning there were no animals, no plants.
Only the sea.
The sea was the Mother. The Mother was not people, she was not anything.
Nothing at all.
She was when she was, darkly.
She was memory and potential.
She was aluna.
~Kogi creation story from The Elder Brothers by Alan Ereira

Kogi: The Indigenous people of the Colombian desert
The Kogis are one of the few indigenous people in South America who were able to maintain their pre-Columbian culture. Being a pacifistic ethnic group they never attempted to fight colonists and preferred to move to more isolated areas up the mountain, where they could continue to live their lives without much influence from western culture. They call themselves the “elder brothers” who are taking care of the “Heart of the World” (the Sierra Nevada) and protecting it from the “younger brothers” (non Kogi or Arhuaco Amerindians) who are destroying it. They believe if the “Heart of the World” get's out of balance it will affect the whole world. Having survived the Spanish colonizers, the [Colombian] colonials in the beginning of the century, the Marijuana bonanza of the 80s, the coca planting of the drug cartels and the armed conflict among guerillas and paramilitaries the Kogi are facing their biggest fear now, the destruction of “Heart of the World” due climatic changes.

According to the Kogi, the reason we now experience increasing earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, floods and other natural and manmade cataclysms across the world is ultimately spiritual. Industrial waste is a result of our low level of spiritual development; pollution reflects our lack of awareness of our interdependence with nature and cosmos. The world is in turmoil because we have failed to maintain a sacred, reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth: we lost our way. The nihilism of our culture reflects this.
Quote from the book how soon as now of Daniel pinchbeck

Magdalena, Colombia
A residential hut of the Kogi Indians. Ciudad Perdida. The ruined city is located about 40 km southeast of Santa Marta in the middle of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the upper valley of the Río Buritaca. It covers an area of about 2 km² and consists of about 200 oval and round terraces, which are connected partly by steep and partly by flat stone paths, whereby the difference in height of the individual terraces is up to twelve meters. The part of the city that is exposed today lies between 900 and 1200 meters above sea level.

Kogi was about five days away from going bankrupt because, with the pandemic, we lost everything. I could have fallen into the trap of all that word salad stuff — by cutting jobs and basically trying to get the water out with a bucket — or I could have doubled down and said, fuck it, if we’re going down, let’s go down the way we started. Let’s feed as many people as possible and give everything away. And by doing that, it saved Kogi. There’s currency and value in caring for each other.
Roy Choi with a thought appropriate for Thanksgiving
