The Yukpa Indians have attempted to reclaim the lands taken from them, and even the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez declared 10 years ago that the problems with land ownership in the Perijá Mountains should be resolved, but nothing was done to advance solutions.
Wahindi wa ki-Yukpa wamejaribu mara kadhaa bila mafanikio kuitwaa upya ardhi waliyoporwa, na hata Rais wa Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, alipata kutangaza miaka 10 iliyopita kwamba tatizo hilo la ardhi limalizwe, lakini mpaka sasa hakuna cha maana kilichofanywa ili kupata suluhisho la kubadili hali ya mambo.
