Indigenous knowledge to decolonize the territory. The Kamëntšä experience (Colombia)

Abstract

The text analyzes the relationship between history-territory and the long-lost meanings of memory-place. This semantic recovery of the Kamëntšá space helps to safeguard the original toponymy of the place, language and episteme, as scenarios of the representation of reality, based on the concept of wáman lware, in a manifesto towards autonomy, respect, rights, justice, space-time and good living with tsbatsan mama (mother earth).
