The Guajiro are an indigenous people living in Colombia and Venezuela. Their traditional homeland consists of a peninsula called “La Guajira” located in the Caribbean Sea along the Colombia-Venezuela border. Pre-contact Guajiro society was probably egalitarian, based on an economy of horticulture, gathering, hunting, and fishing, depending on the region. By mid-1990s, the Guajiro were strongly hierarchical with subsistence based primarily on pastoralism.
