Indigenous Territory (Colombia)
An indigenous territory ( es, territorio indigena) in Colombia is an area of land reserved for use of the indigenous peoples of Colombia. Almost one third of the country is covered by these territories, although the indigenous people account for just over 3% of the population. Legal situation As late as 1959 the Amazon region was considered uninhabited and was declared a natural reserve. The agrarian reform of 1961 recognized the need to define indigenous territories and to confirm as reserves (''resguardos'') the titles the Spanish crown had granted to the indigenous people. The first reserves were in the Amazon, the Vaupés reserve in 1982 with and the Vichada reserve in 1986–87 with .
