| There are now approximately 350 organized Embera cabildos in Colombia, 72 of them in Antioquia. |
| In some cases, local officials and members of indigenous cabildos colluded to divest the Indian communities of their land. |
| In this form tourists could take home a memento of the parades and dances staged by Afro-Cuban cabildos. |
| When slaves were drumming and dancing in the cabildos, Spanish colonial masters thought that they were honouring the saints. |
| The approximately 3,000 Embera-Katío People are organized in Minor cabildos which in turn are grouped together in three Major cabildos responding to the major waterways-the Sinú, Verde and Esmeralda Rivers. |
| In Ecuador, faced with these lacunae, the indigenous peoples have opted for self-advancement in the matter of justice, via their own familiar bodies, the traditional cabildos and community assemblies. |
