Korobiake-aú'hokiki tukúboke-poé'etare yáva-ri hipókateiye = constitución política de Colombia de 1991 en Kubeo

This extraordinary volume is the translation of the Political Constitution of Colombia into the Kubeo language.

Beyond its legal significance, this text represents a monumental linguistic challenge: adapting complex Western legal concepts—such as “tutela,” “sovereignty,” and “fundamental rights”—into the Kubeo semantic universe. The title itself suggests a “Great Word” or “Great Law” that sustains the community.

For linguists and legal scholars, this work is a primary source for studying legal interculturality. It serves as a tool for the Kubeo people to exercise their citizenship in their own tongue, effectively turning the Constitution from a distant, foreign document into a local, living law. It is a testament to the multicultural spirit of the 1991 Constitution and a vital record of the Kubeo lexicon in the late 20th century.
