          Abstract

          En contextos sociales afligidos por altas intensidades de conflicto y violencia, las comunidades afrodescendientes, campesinas e indígenas en Colombia han dado diferentes significados propios a la resistencia civil que responden a las necesidades de los contextos determinados y las distintas formas de violencia que los aquejan. La región del Cauca se distingue por su tradición de organización indígena y por su resistencia contra los terratenientes y el Estado. La resistencia civil para el movimiento indígena es ejercicio de autonomía e incluye varios elementos como la participación comunitaria y política, la Guardia Indígena y las asambleas permanentes. Debido al trabajo de organización, las comunidades son capaces de dar una respuesta organizada frente a situaciones de combate en la zona. La Guardia Indígena está controlada por las autoridades indígenas, y nace por la necesidad de preservar la integridad y autonomía del territorio y defender los derechos de los pueblos indígenas, respetar y difundir la cultura y el derecho autóctono. Frente a la guerrilla, la Asociación de Cabildos del Norte de Cauca reconoce que esta ha sido históricamente otra forma de resistencia al Estado y defensora de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas y le demanda respeto a su cultura, costumbres, tierras y territorios.

          Translated abstract

          In social contexts afflicted by high intensities of conflict and violence, black communities, peasant and indigenous communities in Colombia have given different meanings to civil resistance that meet the needs of particular contexts and the different forms of violence that afflict them. The Cauca region is known for its tradition of indigenous organization and its resistance against the landlords and the state. The civil resistance of the indigenous movement exercise autonomy and includes several elements such as community and political participation, the Indigenous Guard and permanent assemblies. Due to the work of organizing the communities are able to give a response to the situation of war in the area. The Indigenous Guard is controlled by the indigenous authorities, and originated from the need to preserve the integrity and autonomy of the territory, defend the rights of indigenous peoples, and disseminate indigenous culture and law. In relation to the guerrilla movement the Association of Indigenous Communities of Northern Cauca recognizes that the guerrilla has historically been another form of resistance to the state and defender of indigenous peoples' rights and demand from the guerrilla respect for their culture, customs, lands and territories.
