Overview
The Organization of the Indigenous Towns of the Colombian Amazonia (Spanish: Organización de Pueblos Indígenas de la Amazonía Colombiana, OPIAC) is an Indigenous umbrella organization based in Colombia. It brings together the Indigenous peoples and communities of the Colombian Amazon and works to defend their collective rights, territories, cultures, and forms of self-government. OPIAC operates as a platform for political representation and advocacy, engaging with the Colombian state, international bodies, and civil society on issues such as land rights, environmental protection, and the preservation of Indigenous languages and knowledge. Its official website presents it as the "Organización de Pueblos Indígenas de la Amazonía Colombiana," confirming its identity and public-facing name. The organization is active in the Colombian Amazon region and maintains a web presence at opiac.org.co. As an Indigenous rights body rather than a conventional commercial company, OPIAC's "offerings" are its representation, advocacy, and coordination services for its member peoples. It is recognized in public knowledge bases such as Wikidata (Q98127302).
