Cultivate knowledge, reap other education

Experiences from the indigenous perspective

Abstract

Since the middle of the last century, some Latin American indigenous organizations have made
progress in building their own education experiences. Focused on the educational praxis of the
Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca, in this work I analyze the indigenous research processes that
are necessary to build intercultural curricula and intercultural practices. I am interested in releasing
three central questions: a) how the articulation between own education and research has been
produced, b) the way in which this articulation forces to reconceptualize the work of investigating,
and c) the elements that it offers to deepen the construction of alternative socio-educational praxis.
Keywords: intercultural bilingual education, indigenous research, indigenous movement, social
movements.
