- Abstract
The objective of this research paper is to make an ethnographic reading of the community strategies that the Quillacingas ethnic group councils of the Municipality of Pasto have implemented to adapt and mitigate the harmful effects generated by climate change on the cultural landscape (sacred geography). The text focuses on the effects of this phenomenon on good living and ethnodevelopment. The research carried out corresponds to the qualitative approach of hermeneutical nature, where the ethnographic method was applied using the following techniques of information gathering: the interview, the workshop and the participant observation. The work unit consisted of twelve members of the four Quillacingas councils, for a total of forty-eight participants among members, leaders and people over 40 years of age who, because of their knowledge of the local environment, were considered as key informants. The results allowed establishing that climate change is generating adverse effects on the good living in the Quillacingas ethnic group, specially due to the alterations in the conception of time and in the management of the territory regarding the cycles of agricultural production, seasonal rites, traditional tasks and Community practices, as well as the consequent displacement of some family members to the cities in search of life opportunities that are elusive for them. All this has contributed to increasing poverty and misery, lack of protection, insecurity and violence, uprooting towards their territories and the loss of cultural identity.
