Kogis
The Kogi ( KOH-gee), or Cogui, or Kágaba, meaning "jaguar" in the Kogi language, are an Indigenous group that resides in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains in northern Colombia. Their culture has continued since the Pre-Columbian era, according to a scholarly position most represented by Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff, but which has been criticised for its essentialist elements and the indirect removal of centuries marked by contact and tensions within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, as well as representing the Kogi as "noble eco-savages".
Politically, the modern-day Kogi (or Kágaba, as they call themselves) could be defined as a living theocratic chiefdom.
