This definition is a masked discourse in relation to the historical facts of the colonial domain that affected, and still affects, our original peoples’ situation, putting us as subjects under an inferior cultural condition. It disengages the fundamentals of “cultural superiority” given from a colonial perspective which imposes a subordination condition for our original cultures. Therefore, this situation is confronted by the knowledge allocated that represents the original communicative systems. It exposes the conditions of our previous knowledge and wit: The communicative systems, registers in tocapu, quipu and yupay (for counting), hampiy (for healing) and Hanan pacha (for astronomy), recorded during the first decades of the colonial administration. It proposes to locate this original knowledge as a legitimate discourse for the analysis of the processes that affected, and continue to affect, our original cultures and peoples.</p> ER -
