Protocolo Autónomo–Mandato- del Pueblo Arhuaco- de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta para el relacionamiento con el mundo externo incluyendo la consulta y el Consentimiento previo, libre e informado impactos de fenómenos naturales, lesiones causadas por otro individuo, u otros similares. Cuando una persona realiza una conducta prohibida, debe ser sometida a la justicia, y además del resarcimiento del daño material, moral y espiritual que haya ocasionado, es primordial el alejamiento de la fuerza negativa que impulsa al individuo a violar la Ley; y ello se logra trabajando directamente sobre la dimensión espiritual, en la que el guía es el Mamu. 4. MISIÓN DEL PUEBLO ARHUACO – el cuidado de la vida- Nuestros padres y madres espirituales dejaron a los cuatro pueblos de la Sierra la responsabilidad de cumplir la Ley de Origen, mandato propio que se tiene que cumplir con la naturaleza, para sostener el corazón del mundo, para garantizar la convivencia, la armonía y el equilibrio de todas las especies o seres del mundo y el universo, así, esta ley se convierte en la máxima guía para todos los eventos y prácticas de la vida, incluyendo el modo de uso que se le da a cada uno de los seres que existen; del cumplimiento del mismo depende el equilibrio de la tierra y de todos los seres que la habitan, así como de la energía solar y lunar, ya que de esta se nutre. Son los Mamu los que guardan y transmiten el Kunsamu y/o principios, ellos son quienes interpretan, conocen y controlan las enfermedades, las tormentas, los veranos, y todos los fenómenos de la naturaleza en beneficio de los seres vivientes. Ellos recibieron la misión y el poder de hacerlo desde el principio. Nuestra Ley de Origen como Arhuacos, establece que nuestra misión es cuidar la naturaleza y el universo. Los bienes naturales son ofrecimientos de la Naturaleza, la engendradora de vida, de la cual procedemos, de la cual dependemos y a la cual debemos retribuir sus servicios permanentemente hasta retornar con la muerte nuevamente a su seno. 12
