"Con la participación de las comunidades indígenas colombianas en la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, en 1991, se da un “cambio” en el escenario político, pues con esta visibilización como pueblos se hunde la homogeneidad cultural existente desde dieciocho décadas atrás. Se logra entonces, una aceptación a la diversidad cultural, a la pluralidad étnica y la inclusión a los derechos que les asiste como pueblos indígenas para definir, decidir y estructurar su visión de mundo de acuerdo a la producción propia. Sin embargo, las comunidades sienten que los medios de comunicación existentes no permiten que “otros” grupos sociales se vean representados y que por ser parte de lo privado y lo masivo no tienen enunciación Constitucional sino “carga homogeneizante”. En esta medida, como pueblos indígenas orientan sus fuerzas hacia un proceso de movilización encaminado a la obtención de medios de comunicación de y desde las mismas comunidades. Actualmente, han unido a sus procesos, además de la radio, los impresos, el video y la web.
