The Chimilas or Ette Ennaka[1] are an Indigenous people in the Andes of north-eastern Colombia. Their Chimila language is part of the Chibcha language family, of which there were estimated to be around 1000 speakers in 1998.[1] At the time of the Spanish Conquest the Ariguaní River valley was the strategic centre of their territory.[1] On the Serranía del Perijá mountains the Yukpas were also part of the Chimila confederation of tribes.[2]
