Abstract

Committed to the process of resignifying, strengthening, recovering and revitalizing the principles
of unity, territory, culture, identity and autonomy, the spirit of the Jiisa Fxiw Agroecological
College (Seed of Knowledge) of the mingas of thought that has made the indigenous movement
and in particular the Yaquivá Resguardo. This initiative has been in perspective to think
about the education itself, questioning in depth the model of official education that responds
little or nothing to multicultural and diverse contexts. On the other hand, the ethno-ecological
emphasis invites to question the use of pesticides and fertilizers of chemical synthesis in the
plots of the comuneros; Likewise, it places concepts such as: life plan, good community living,
mother earth, sovereignty, autonomy and food dignity in the discussion stage. Finally, it continues
to hold the hope that someday the dreams of self-determination, sovereignty, reciprocity
and love, become part of Colombian public policies.
