El sihkrutara evoca la manera que tiene el pueblo miskitu en la Costa Caribe de Nicaragua y en el marco de su cultura milenaria en revitalizar y re-significar su pasado, asumirlo, promoverlo, contarlo y transmitirlo de una generación a otra. Con esta mirada, sihkrutara, es un relato analizado a la luz de la perspectiva planteada por Maurice Halbwachs, cuyo principal argumento consiste en que no existe memoria que no sea social.
Desde la postura de Halbwachs, sihkrutara representa ese relato que los ancianos y la comunidad entera no quieren olvidar y lo mantienen vivo en los recuerdos, es una de esas narraciones en las cuales no se discute autenticidad, se conoce porque el pueblo miskitu mismo lo construye, lo reconstruye, lo rememora y lo comparte para que pueda ser comprendido y no quede en el olvido. A partir de una metodología de análisis textual y narrativo, este trabajo presenta las señales que entrega el relato del sihkrutara, en la manera que tiene el pueblo miskitu por recordar a sus muertos y por preservar una memoria ligada a procesos sociales, culturales, colectivos desde el entretejido de la verdadera historia.
Summary
The sihkrutara evokes the way the Miskitu people on the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua revitalize and redefine their past in the framework of their ancient culture, as they assume it, promote it, share it and transmit it from one generation to another. With this look, sihkrutara is a story that is analyzed based on the perspective proposed by Maurice Halbwachs, whose main argument is that there is no memory other than social. The position of Halbwachs is that sihkrutara represents the story that elders and the entire community do not want to forget and thus, keep it alive in their memories; it is one of those stories in which no authenticity is discussed, it is known because the Miskitu people themselves builds it, reconstructs it, remembers it and shares it so that it can be understood and not be forgotten.
Beginning with a methodology of textual and narrative analysis, this paper presents the signals carried out by the sihkrutara story, in the way that the Miskitu people remembers their dead and preserve a memory linked to social, cultural and collective processes from the interweaving of the real story.
