This article analyzes the process of imposition, transference and change of protestant missionary precepts within the indigenous community of Guambia in Cauca, Colombia. Based on the concept of cultural change, the objective of this article is to demostrate the dynamic configuration of Guambian ethnicity and religiousness through the processes of struggle, establishment and resistance. Through the analysis of oral narrative and ethnography, the research focuses on the most significant elements of religious conversion, change, and ritual memory.

Keywords : cultural change; ritual mermory; ethnicity; protestantism.
