MUISCAS

Last wednesday October 5th, 2011 Abraham Lincoln's students from Eight Grade assisted to ''El Resguardo Indígena de Cota'' 
''El Resguardo Indígena de Cota'' is a place in which the Muisca's descendant people do not permit the extintion of their culture. There the grandparents can talk to the others generations about legends and stories. Then those generations will tell to the other generations and so on.


Muiscas have their own language and their own number system




They had been existing since long time ago.



This diagram means the way 
how we are moving through our lives





Time later we started to climb
''El Majuy''
Ma = Dentro
Jui = Ti
= Inside of you ''Dentro de ti''



This tree has a symbol
This is the tree of the future 
because the real ones are 
coming to an end


















Their language

This is a sacred place for them. 

In this place you can't

enter looking forward. 

You must enter of back because

in that way you are leaving all those

bad energies.
