Abstract

The present investigation seeks to learn about the Muisca Indigenous Tribe in the Bosa district of Bogotá, Colombia, through the remembrance and expansion of their beliefs, the understanding of their methods of social organization, taking of ancestral medicines, their folklore, their dressing, and their values. Thus, research of secondary sources has been carried out and interviews with people who have been involved with the Muisca tribe accumulating an experiential knowledge. This study aims to find the community's characteristic values and its relationship with the cultural dimension’s theory proposed by Hofstede. Therefore, power distance, collectivism vs. individualism, masculinity vs. femininity, indulgence vs. restriction, uncertainty avoidance, and it's long- or short-term orientation have been analyzed.
