While many conflicts have been resolved by force, the Wayuu present a very particular judicial system is called Suküaipa Wayúu that allows us to resolve conflicts peacefully, based on the power of words and designs and signs of the dead, which ultimately represent the earth. Before we go to war whenever we go to the Wayuu reconciliation through pütchi, ie the word. Often it is preferable for us to pay with goats Wayúu, necklaces or money, before going to war. Because of our social organization based on clans, as Wayúu not only have had wars with other peoples, but also usually have had to the interior. In this context interclaniles wars have clearly favored by the same tribal social organization we have. We are a warrior people from the time of English colonization has used firearms, when they had no qualms Wayúu to establish partnerships with the buccaneers and privateers English, French, and especially Dutch.
