Resumen

PENA RIVEROS, Kelly. Nükak: contacts, the State and health care in the north of the ­Colombian Amazon. Anthropologica [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.47, pp.447-473. ISSN 0254-9212.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/anthropologica.202102.017.

One of the fundamental reasons why the Nükak people contacted the mainstream society is biomedical health care and over time it continues to be one of their primary vulnerabilities. Various legal actions during the last thirty years have called the attention of the Colombian State to the need for a differentiated service model. In this article we will investigate the historical context of said care during their contact process in order to contextualize some demands and needs for the analysis and implementation of this model, recognizing the various forms of care that subjects seek from a relational approach.

Palabras clave : Nükak; health care; model of care; National Territories; biomedicine.
