Abstract

All peoples have had characters who contributed historically to the cultural development of evolutionary manner, so all do not have recognition, as there are some that are not taken into account even if they have contributed from the lower strata in the elitist considerations, the vogue in the department Chocó is a victim of these circumstances. But in the field of performing their difficult task, acquires immeasurable recognition against their benefactors, ultimately the vogue is: faith, trust, hope and determinative in the circum- stances of life between good and bad especially related news and good news. The sun and water have weathered these characters of yesterday and today, which are related to the different historical events of chocoano man. As its reason to exist are the turbulent rivers as rivers as Atrato, San Juan, Baudó, Andagueda, Tamaná, among others. His hut, his stick, his paddle and bailing mate, witness the daily decanting of its existence. In the colonial period, the rivers of the territory Pacific region, especially those where actual mine there, had great importance in the economy of the region and the world as were used for transit from one province to another and within of the provinces in this regard, the contribution of the oarsmen as human force for mobilizing the slavers from one place to another of the regional and national geography, was of great significance.
