THE WESTERN SCHOOL: MEDIATRIX OF TERRITORIAL STABILITY TO REVALUE THE INDIGENOUS UNIVERSE

It was made a book and a CD about traditional knowledge related to medicinal plants written in Spanish and Tikuna language with members of the indigenous community of Macedonia (Amazonas, Colombia), whose socialization got a reconciliation between traditional and ancestral knowledge and the school of the community. The activities planned included the socialization of the book and the CD, talks and tours led by the Chamans of the community, who guided the correct identification and collection of medicinal plants, as well as a workshop on preparation of remedies and a chemistry lab with the support of the school teachers. As a result, it was generated the first space in school recognition to traditional medicinal knowledge of the people from the community who know the most and the legitimizing of the ethnic education instrument at the Francisco de Orellana (Community School), which put together the book and the Cultural Education Project (PEC).
