Critical and decolonial intercultural citizenship in Our America: the resistance of indigenous peoples in ancestral territories

Abstract

The historical resistance of a sociocultural and identity nature that indigenous peoples have carried out in their territories reflects the condition of fighting for other scenarios where a harmonious balance between life, land and territory coexists. Part of this narrative was organized as an emerging epistemic space, which is committed to giving weight to the forms of re-colonization sponsored by the hegemonic groups from the private and commercial interests of those above on the modern media, networks and institutions. colonial. In this way, the purpose of this reflection is to make an approximation about the conception of a decolonial intercultural indigenous citizenship, taking into account the processes of liberation and decoloniality gestated in Our America, since they are referents of the expressions of struggles / resistance emanating from indigenous peoples, which are aimed at promoting a worldview on defense in ancestral territories. The methodological logic, used for the construction of the text, is a critical and horizontal analysis from the subject, based on the importance of deliberating on decolonizing experiences that give weight to the dynamics of modernity-coloniality submerged in the world system - capitalist.
