This breeding and gathering of knowledge was carried out in the indigenous community of Fruta de Pan, belonging to the ancestral indigenous peoples called sumus, and currently identified as sumu-mayangna, located four kilometers from Rosita municipality, Autonomous Regions of the North Caribbean Coast, Nicaragua. Among the findings, the profound knowledge of the phenomena that occur on earth is an experience based on the observation and ancestral knowledge of this people, produced by a communicative practice with the spirits that inhabit each space of the land, establishing in that way a harmonious life with the territory. The study shows that the language of this people is disappearing due to a systematic process of acculturation and that their communicative practices are connected to mother earth, considered a living and dimensional being, that communicates feelings, rules and ways of procuring well-being, hence, community life is essential to share. This is a town whose superior strength lies in dreams, which warns them of dangers, or reveals to them the joy that is to come. Their food is a traditional art.Downloads
