Původní národy napříč světem
Původní národy ztělesňují prastarou moudrost, na kterou západní kultury z velké části zapomněly – moudrost zakořeněnou v principech udržitelnosti, vzájemnosti, spolupráce, jednoty, lásky, tolerance, soucitu a posvátnosti veškerého života.

Překonané dualistické myšlení
Jak zdůrazňují kritici dualistického myšlení (například Jason Hickel v knize Méně je více), dosažení skutečné udržitelnosti a spravedlnosti nepůjde bez překonání této binarity. Původní národy nás přibližují k holističtějšímu chápání. Podívejte se, jak Proroctví orla a kondora potenciál překonat individualistické a materialistické předsudky odhaluje v Proroctví orla a kondora.
původní obyvatelé
Jsou v hluboce sladěni se změnami, které ovlivňují Zemi, a s jejich dalekosáhlými důsledky. Původní národy se sjednocují po celém světě, protože cítí naléhavou potřebu pomoci obnovit životodárné systémy planety a zachovat udržitelnou existenci lidstva na Zemi.
S prohlubujícím se kolektivním vědomím mezi původními národy se naléhavost jednat stává stále citelnější. Národ Kaggabů nedávno obdržel zásadní poselství od Matky Země, výzvu, která má být sdílena globálně. Podobně i starší domorodých národů z různých částí světa dostávají naléhavá poselství, která všechna rezonují se stejnou bezprostředností a závažností a zdůrazňují kritickou křižovatku, na níž se nyní nacházíme.
the heart of the world
Nestled in Colombia, La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta stands as one of the last bastions of untouched nature on Earth. This sacred territory serves not only as the homeland of the Kaggaba Nation, but also as a sanctuary where rare and exquisite fauna and flora still flourish.
Refered by local people as the „Heart of the World“, La Sierra epitomizes the profound connection between land, spirituality, and the continuity of ancient traditions within its vibrant ecosystem. Yet, it is also a landscape in transition, signaling a plea to halt disturbances and unnatural processes.
Did you know about TapiR?
The Kaggaba Nation shares their sacred homeland in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with a remarkable creature – the South American tapir. This gentle herbivore plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of the ecosystem by dispersing seeds throughout the forest as it forages.
Sadly, the tapir is facing threats due to habitat loss and hunting. By supporting the Kaggaba’s efforts to protect their ancestral lands, we not only help preserve their ancient traditions but also ensure the survival of unique species like the tapir. Through our collective actions, we can contribute to the conservation of this vital ecosystem and the well-being of all its inhabitants.
tairona people history
La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta was once the heartland of the Tairona people, whose deep-rooted connection to this land was challenged when outsiders arrived in 1700. As some areas became settled by newcomers, some of the Tairona sought sanctuary in the mountains, choosing isolation over surrender to preserve their cultural legacy. This retreat into the rugged highlands allowed them to maintain their traditions, undisturbed by the changing world below.
kaggaba nation today
Until now. The people of La Sierra have begun to sense the ripple effects of global human activity right in their own gardens, where the mountain streams flow less freely and the overhead drone of airplanes disrupts their deep meditative connections with Mother Earth. Yet, despite these disturbances, their profound attunement with nature makes the Earth‘s plea for help unmistakably clear. In response, the Kaggaba Nation has descended from the mountains to share their testimony about the state of the land, bringing their urgent message to the wider world.
Kaggaba, along with the Wiwa, Arhuaco, and Kankuamo, continue their original ways of life, a testament to their Tairona heritage. Their deep reverence for ancient traditions not only preserves their cultural integrity but also establishes them as elder brothers to other nations. This profound connection to Mother Earth allows them to intuitively perceive and respond to her calls for healing, guided by the deep wisdom ingrained in their traditions.
For nearly thirteen years, The Fountain has collaborated with three of the four Original Nations of Colombia, providing a platform for the Kaggaba to share their vital teachings. These teachings aim to enlighten and guide the global awakening.
Mamos: The Spiritual Guardians
In the heart of their communities, the Mamos and Sagas serve as spiritual leaders of Original Nations.
From birth, male children known as Mamos are recognized for their potential to achieve heightened states of consciousness. They spend their early years in seclusion, shielded from daylight until the age of nine, undergoing evaluations to determine their spiritual development. Some continue this cloistered journey for as long as 27 years. Mamos engage deeply with their environment, maintaining a symbiotic dialogue with the land, water, spirits, wind, and celestial bodies. Their life‘s work involves restoring balance through sacred ceremonies, consultations, and „Pagamentos“—ritual offerings to the Earth, embodying the principle of reciprocity. This practice reflects global indigenous wisdom and has informed modern scientific understanding, as explored in the films Aluna and Heart of the World.
Sagas: The Spiritual Matriarchs
The Sagas, esteemed female spiritual leaders, are the matriarchal counterparts to the Mamos.
Identified from a young age for their ability to connect with higher states of consciousness, they undergo rigorous training and seclusion within sacred spaces to cultivate their spiritual gifts. The Sagas play a crucial role in maintaining the spiritual balance of their communities, engaging in ceremonies and rituals that honor the natural world and its cycles. Their deep understanding of the earth‘s energies and ability to interpret signs from nature are vital to their people‘s well-being. In harmony with the Mamos, the Sagas ensure that ancient wisdom and traditions thrive, guiding their communities with reverence and responsibility towards Mother Earth.
would you like to see the films?
They explore more than the Kaggaba Nation‘s concerns about water depletion, mining, and energy imbalances. They convey messages for humanity and their significance for healing Mother Earth. They also show how scientific understanding, including quantum physics, has been enriched by the Kaggaba‘s insights. We invite you to watch them here.
