The U’wa people are an indigenous people living in the cloud forests of northeastern Colombia. Historically the U’wa numbered as many as 20000 scattered over a homeland that extended across the Venezuela-Colombia border. Some 7-8000 U’wa are alive today. The U’wa are known to neighboring indigenous peoples as the thinking people or the people who speak well. They were formerly called Tunebo but today prefer to be known as U’wa meaning people.
