The Navel Force, Pedagogy of Life

Abstract

The Cultivation and Breeding of Wisdoms and Knowledge the “Navel Force, Pedagogy of Life”, is a study that flows and interweaves as an important part of the path traveled by the original peoples in Colombia revitalized with the wisdom granted by the Uma Kiwe (Mother Earth) and the cosmos. Reflect on the world of knowledge, ensuring that with the western world these are limited to the school, while, in the original peoples, they are empowered in the land and in the territory. It is a study that springs from the story, “the conversation” and meeting spaces originated in assemblies and family gatherings with elderlies, knowledgeable people, recovering from this wisdom the communication practice that has guided the path of the community to defend the territory, identity and survival of the Nasa People. The richness of the study trans- cends the deep ruptures and pain caused by the Colombian armed conflict and focuses on the present challenges that Nasa People have, to conserve their roots, practices, traditions, knowledge, identity, permanence and mother tongue, the Nasa Yuwe, the older people tell that thanks to the language, progress was made in the recovery of the land. With this importance, the document tries to cultivate that wisdom also springs from the belly of Uma Kiwe (spiritual guider).
