Monumento a la Raza Indígena, Stone sculpture group at Glorieta Norte in Tunja, Colombia.
The monument features two main stone figures: a fallen man representing Chief Aquiminzaque and a standing woman symbolizing Adeizagá, daughter of Gámeza's chief.
Chief Aquiminzaque, the last Muisca leader of Hunza, was executed by Spanish authorities in 1540 following accusations of organizing a rebellious marriage ceremony.
The monument stands as a representation of indigenous resistance and memory, depicting the final moments of the Muisca civilization in the Boyacá region.
Located at coordinates 5°32′00″N 73°22′00″O, the monument includes surrounding gardens and receives seasonal decorations during winter celebrations.
Sculptor Miguel Sopó Duque from Zipaquirá created this memorial in 1964, incorporating traditional stone carving techniques to honor indigenous heritage.
