Keywords:
Anthropology and education, Muinane community, Muinane Schooling, educational policiesAbstract
In the 80's many Mauinane communities and other "downtown people", indigenous from Mid-Caquetá, Colombian Amazon forest, founded their own schools. During the First Encounter of Mauinane Elders, the participants concluded that the main cause of their communitarian and interpersonal afflictions were the undue mixture of their own myths, rites, prescriptions and behavioral and dietary prohibitions, amongst other things with the knowledge and practices of the white people. In this text it is examined the constitution of schools in Muinane Communicties and how they are built in a creative use of tradition.
