N2 - Currently, the majority of the material cultural heritage of the descendants of the Tairona culture – Kággaba, Arhuaco, Wiwa, Kankuamo – of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM) in Colombia is dispersed across museums in Europe, as well as North and South America. According to their ancestral knowledge and complex understanding of the world, this cultural heritage is of immense importance to the Tairona’s descendants as it contributes to planetary equilibrium. What kind ofrelationship do the Tairona’s descendants have with Earth? Which significance does the material cultural heritage hold and what are the consequences of its translocation? How could a shift in perspective enable transformation within museums and foster collective action toward planetary protection?
