Abstract

The Cultivation and Breeding of Wisdoms and Knowledge (CCRISAC) studies the originative communication practices with the Pachamama / Mother Earth, in the processes of ancestral planting of potatoes in San Vicente de Tipín Community, Kichwa Purwa Village, Palmira Parish, Guamote Canton and Chimborazo Province from the Republic of Ecuador. This study was executed under the qualitative paradigm, with an interactive community approach through the “Relational Symbolic Experiential” path or method, whose information obtained is the result of chakareras and chakareros´s experiences process (man or woman who till and cultivates the soil) as determining actors within their territory. These knowings, knowledge and practices combined make visible the existence of their own communication in the production of potato in its different phases, through symbolic expressions, rituals, sounds and signals. Demonstrations that convey messages of life and summons to care for and defend Pachamama. In this investigation, twenty-four communicative experiences were found, among them we can visualize how our grandparents have a great respect for Pachamama, and so they usually ask permission for all agricultural work they have made.
