The Yukpa are a semi-nomadic indigenous people from Colombia, hunters, gatherers, fishermen and farmers, who live in the Serranía del Perijá in the department of Cesar, northern Colombia. According to the Auto 004 of 2009 issued by Colombia’s constitutional court, the Yukpa, last speakers of the Caribe family language, are in imminent risk of physical and cultural extinction due to the loss of their ancestral territory and the subsequent impossibility to live out their culture.
