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 Yukpa wamejaribu kukomboa ardhi waliyonyang'anywa, na hata rais wa Venezuela Hugo Chávez alitangaza miaka 10 iliyopita kwamba matatizo ya umiliki wa ardhi katika Milima ya Perijá yapaswa kutatuliwa, lakini hakuna lolote lililofanywa ili kuendeleza masuluhisho.
