The Kogi live in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in northern Colombia where they cultivate different plots within an area ranging from 500 to 2,500 meters above sea level. Descendents of the Tairona Indians, they offered stiff resistance to Spanish intrusion, but were finally crushed in 1600. Many Kogi have become nominal Catholics, but maintain older religious and cosmological beliefs.
