Indigenous Intercultural Education: weaving thread by thread the life and resistance of our people

Abstract

Indigenous Peoples have the right to create their own way of organizing the school, an autonomous education based on the political and pedagogical practices of their own knowledge and knowledge. Even with the modality of intercultural bilingual education, indigenous culture is not present in the classrooms. The school experience is foreign and strange. Indigenous teaching methods are not taken into account, which are based more on observation, imitation, exploration, reflection and experimentation in the oral transmission of knowledge. To this day for the indigenous people, school is not the best place to learn. They continue to be victims of an indifferent and petty education system that is quality and culturally and linguistically inadequate. The autonomy in the education of the indigenous peoples is paramount in the strategies of the organizations for the defense of the territory, the autonomy means the cultural affirmation and the strengthening of the management power of the indigenous families and of the cultural identity.
