Examples
Next to the Quechua of Peru and Ecuador, and the Aymara in Bolivia, the Chibcha of the eastern and north-eastern Highlands of Colombia were the most striking of the sedentary indigenous peoples in South America.
At one point, the Chibcha occupied part of what is now Panama and the high plains of the Eastern Sierra of Colombia.
One exception to this are the Chibcha speakers, whose ancestry comes from both North and South America.
The central and southern portions of the country had Chibcha influences.
