Diversas historias, diversos sentires, un mismo territorio: Recuperar la tierra para recuperarlo todo

Abstract

Project presented as a requirement to fulfill language homologation for students of the Tejiendo Interculturalidades program. The struggle of indigenous peoples for the conservation and recovery of their ancestral legacy is not the subject of recent years, on the contrary, the struggle has been constant for several centuries in which the community, the Taytas and Mamas are their main protagonists. The struggles of these peoples translate into different aspects such as: avoiding the breaking of community ties, maintaining and / or recovering their forms of social, political and economic organization, which is closely linked to the recognition and recovery of ancestral territories, which they have been dispossessed, reduced or occupied at different times and through various strategies of colonization or legal liquidation. In search of the reconstruction of the community fabric, disarticulated by aggressive external influences, the community of the Pastos has undertaken a work of community memory that tries to reconstruct through oral memory the history of the ancestral territory or what for our work we will call narratives territorial. This work has had the collaboration of Taytas, who through their stories have been able to reconstruct the most important events that have influenced the configuration of the territory. That is the reason why, today, we want to carry out this work, and that with the help of different sources, both oral and written, an approach can be carried out to the reconstruction of that historical memory of the territory of the town of Los Pastos, Resguardo de Cumbal little visible so far, giving in this case a greater value to the narratives of its own inhabitants, since the territorial struggle is not only the fight for a common good but it is the recovery of its own history, of its own memory, that is why they clearly called it, that to recover the territory, was to recover everything. The memory of this town will focus particularly on the decades of the 70's, 80's and 90's in which the pastures have called it the recovery of the land, but not before making a brief historical tour from some of the Available sources dating from these events in particular in the Department of Nariño, Pueblo de los Pastos, Resguardo de Cumbal, to contrast at the same time the way it has been related and how the same communities relate it from their experiences, and from their daily lives: territorial narratives.
