People displaced by armed violence in Colombia have been forced to migrate within the national territory, leave their place of residence and economic activities in order to safeguard their lives, settle in areas other than their places of origin and build quickly and insecure a relationship with the environment in which they arrive, as survival critically determines having a common territory to locate and overcome the loss of their place in the world, to rebuild a life project, their self-image and identity. An indigenous community has made it possible to understand two key processes in the problem: de-territorialisation and re-territorialisation.
