Tahamí people
Extinct Indigenous people of Colombia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tahamí were a Colombian Indigenous people who inhabited the Antioquia Department region west of the Magdalena River at the time of the Spanish conquest of New Granada; the Nutabe were their northern neighbor and Muisca their southeastern. Their name comes from the Choco languages, meaning 'those who live farther out'.[1] They were defined as comparably advanced to the Muisca in Century Dictionary and did not have hereditary rulers. It was customary the dead be buried with gold.[2]
