Abstract

The present investigation describes the importance of learning to communicate with the tul for the Nasa people, it also identifies the elements that manage to resemble its value, such as the anaco or skirt that covers the woman's body, likewise the tul covers circularly and Protect the house. It is also known as the root that makes NASA's thought stay alive; Tul is our wise, affectionate grandmother who protects us, teaches, rebukes, consents, shelters and defends us. It is the big house, in which the ksxa'w of the vision remain, those of the four entrance doors to the garden, they are responsible for defending against any danger in addition to alerting any situation that will arise in the family and community To reach these concepts, the voices of the elderly interviewed were important, who, from their life experiences with Tul, contributed to the learning process. From this process it is concluded that the tul is the encounter with the teachings of the knowledge of our ancestors, also the intercultural relationship between plants, the ksxa'w (the spiritual beings of every living being) as people teaching us the unity in diversity, to finally demonstrate that there are other ways of communicating and that they manage to be so important that it is necessary to transmit them in the spaces where knowledge is built in intercultural communication.
