The discovery and rescue of four young Indigenous children, 40 days after the aircraft they were travelling in crashed in the remote Colombian rainforest, was hailed in the international press as a “miracle in the jungle”. But as an anthropologist who has spent more than a year living among the #Andoque people in the region, conducting #ethnographic fieldwork, I cannot simply label this as a miraculous event.

At least, not a miracle in the conventional sense of the word. Rather, the survival and discovery of these children can be attributed to the profound knowledge of the intricate forest and the adaptive skills passed down through generations by Indigenous people.

La découverte et le sauvetage de quatre jeunes enfants indigènes, 40 jours après que l’avion dans lequel ils voyageaient se soit écrasé dans la forêt tropicale colombienne, ont été salués par la presse internationale comme un “miracle dans la jungle”. Mais en tant qu’anthropologue ayant passé plus d’un an à vivre parmi le peuple #Andoque dans la région, menant un travail de terrain #ethnographique, je ne peux pas simplement qualifier cet événement de miraculeux.

Du moins, pas un miracle au sens conventionnel du terme. La survie et la découverte de ces enfants peuvent plutôt être attribuées à la connaissance approfondie de la forêt complexe et aux capacités d’adaptation transmises de génération en génération par les peuples indigènes.
