The Misak tribe is a tribe from Western Colombia (Cauca Department), which attended the Minga 2020 protests in which 150,000 indigenous people demonstrated against the government. The Misak occupied the El Dorado airport in Bogota in protest against the massacres committed by government-backed paramilitaries against indigenous and poor people.

Tens of thousands of indigenous people once again occupied Plaza Bolivar in Bogota to protest massacres perpetrated by government-backed paramilitaries that kill hundreds to thousands of people every year. About 100,000 people demonstrated again, demanding the end of funding for paramilitary forces such as the fascist Black Eagles.
Indigenous Colombians took to the streets to protest the inaction by the Duque administration to combat massacres of natives by government-funded paramilitaries. They also demonstrated against the false positives crisis that severely impacted disabled indigenous people. Natives and Afro-Indigenous Colombians were a swing vote in the election, and a failure on their part to vote for Duque could lead for him to lose reelection.
