Despite the circumstances that have surrounded</p><p align="left">them, they retain part of their culture and have sought</p><p align="left">to keep their forms of government and social relationships that</p><p align="left">govern life in community. However, the construction of the</p><p align="left">Urra I hydroelectric encountered the Embera Catio with the</p><p align="left">deterioration of a significant part of their territory, losing sacred</p><p align="left">sites and lands for cultivation, as well as the emergence of social</p><p align="left">conflicts they were previously unaware of. This situation forced</p><p align="left">the Indigenous group to change its social and organizational</p><p align="left">behavior, and to adapt to new environmental conditions. This</p><p align="left">work shows a parallel between before and after the construction</p><p align="left">of the Urra I hydroelectric and subsequent effects on social and</p><p>political organization brought by the river damming.</p><p> </p><p> </p></span></span>
