In the beginning, nothing existed; there was no Earth, no Sun, no Moon. Everything was darkness, everything was water. Water was the mother creator. And when Mother Se created the world, she saw the need for a person of flesh and bone, someone to watch over the land. This is why Mother Se created us, the indigenous peoples, the Kagubba, our traditional name. Because all indigenous peoples like us have a single name that unites us: Kagubba.

Note

Kogui society is non-literate, so their language does not have its own writing system and is only spoken. Thus, it should be noted that what has been presented here is a transliteration and, as such, an interpretation of the original message in the Kogui language. It remains as faithful as possible to the original, always seeking to maintain the nuances (José García, Anthropologist, SNSM process support). The written translation from Kaggaba to Spanish was done by Kogui indigenous professor Juan Jandigua. The translation into English was done by Camilo Roldán.
