Pachamama, , Mother Earth

“For Indigenous Peoples from Ecuador, the Pachamama (Mother Earth) is the mother who gives the life to men, animals, plants and the nature. She is the principal base for the development

f life and culture. “…The land is our

mother, she is not merchandise, she is the integral part of our life, and she is

ur past, present and future…”.

(Personal Communication, CONAIE, June 24, 1996)

Indigenous Epistemology

Includes entire systems of knowledge and relationships with the cosmos, with us and with the environment. Indigenous Epistemology refers to our cultures, worldviews, times, languages, stories, spiritualties and our places in the cosmos (Cajete, 2000, Mamani, 2008, Montaluisa, 1988, Ramirez, 2008, Wilson, 2008). Among Indigenous Peoples, a song, story, or medicinal knowledge has a reciprocal relationship and connection with particular human beings, animals, plants, and places (Cajete, 1986).
