Indigenous peoples and anthropology:

intercultural encounters

Abstract

Indigenous communities value their material production historically gestated, they frame it in their daily practices and representations of the world and in their demands for the realization of formally recognized rights. They propose intercultural encounters that articulate their present and their past, their achievements and their needs, their claims with exchanges of knowledge that make possible the teaching/learning of Anthropology from daily practices whose understanding brings into play theoretical/methodological contents discussed in the classroom. In this paper we reflect on the pedagogical challenge that involves putting students, future anthropologists, in dialogue with indigenous peoples, either with the presence of referents in the classroom or students in the territories. From our teaching, research and university extension experiences, we warn about the need for urgent dialogues within Anthropology (Social Anthropology/ Archaeology), taking as a reference practices developed with communities of the Consejo de la Nación Tonokote Llutki (Santiago del Estero), one of the indigenous organizations with which we work together from the Laboratory of Research in Social Anthropology and the Cátedra Antroología Sociocultural I of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Museum of the National University of La Plata.
