Resumen
The community of Bahia Portete after his shift was forced to settle mostly in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, where besides being confronted with the need to adapt to the conditions of extreme poverty, has had to live with rootlessness, fragmentation of the social fabric, in addition to the breakdown of their collective cultural imaginary, since the particular characteristics of the actions perpetrated against them, show that they were made with the clear and direct target of attack sensitive points within the Wayuu worldview, destabilizing cultural roots of the community. However, over more than ten years after the occurrence of the slaughter, the women of the community have undertaken a struggle based on the memory as a source of reconstruction of collective imagination to initiate processes of social recomposition from various practices ranging from the internal reorganization of the community, public denunciation, the collection of information in the versions given by the victimizers, commemoration and disclosure of the facts, thus achieving the unification of the people around rebuilding its social fabric as a community.
