The book is the result of months of academic research in which interviews were conducted with members of an indigenous people victim of forced displacement in the department of Antioquia.
The National Army, in coordination with the editorial group Ibáñez, in the framework of the International Book Fair of Bogotá, launched the book of historical memory Jaikerasabi, the resilience of an ancestral people, which tells of the restoration of the rights of the people Emberá - Katío Eyábida through the construction and use of the reservation Jaikerazabi.
This task was conducted by the Engineer Battalion No.17 General Carlos Bejarano Muñoz, a unit of the Seventeenth Brigade, in the Seventh Division of the National Army, and counted, among others, on the budget of the Presidential Agency for Social action and International Cooperation (APC Colombia), through the Fund of Investment for Peace.
The project is conducted jointly with the indigenous Emberá Katío Eyábida of the Cabildo mayor of Mutatá, who, bringing its workforce, actively participated in the realization of the indigenous village where today is inhabited by 84 families of the indigenous people, displaced of their places of origin by the extinct Farc-ep, and by self-defense groups by from1998 to 2012.
The launch took place at four o'clock in the afternoon in the Filbo Workshops 3 Room of Corferias, in which the authors of this impressive research work participated.
