The Kolla people live in close communities, their rituals and celebrations take place inside their culture and marriages are restricted to the group.
Cultural resistance manifests also in women's and some of the men's attires, and in their religious rituals.
They established in the pre-cordillera's creeks of the III region. Some went to the Paipote creek, close to the city of Copiapo, but when their children went to school, their mothers moved down to live with them in the city.
Currently, the Kolla people belong to a community that has its own daycare center.
Based on their estimates, this ethnic group would add up to 1,000 people in Chile.
