This research has analyzed the role of the communicative elements of indigenous peasant resistance, against the Loma Larga Mining Project (Kimsakocha), from Ecuador. It is a qualitative study from a symbolic experiential perspective that is sustained in four moments: living and experiencing; recovering and reenchanting; meaning and resignified; and getting involved and committing to a shared solution. The main results describe the reality of mining in Ecuador, the processes carried out by the State or Government to implement the mining economic policy above the wellbeing of the communities themselves, as well as the entities that the government has created for the regulation of mining issue and the recount of the legal struggle process and the actions undertaken by the communities, with emphasis on the women participation against mining extraction in Kimsakococha. As a conclusion, it is confirmed that both ancestral and modern forms of communication are determinant and indispensable for the development of resistance to the vulnerability of the indigenous territory.Downloads
