Education in the Fire. Counter-conduct of the original Misak village

Abstract

Education in the Misak village takes place in the fire. Around the fire the elders advise, teach the language, to weave, to dialogue, to select the seeds and to sow; the knowledge learned from the ancestors is shared and it is formed for the serene and calm spirit. There, the resistance processes that indigenous peoples have given for centuries are strengthened and that, in the last thirty years, have aimed to "recover the land to recover everything" relationships with the territory, the community, history and knowledge.

It is investigated from the founded theory, collecting and analyzing data to understand the relationships and knowledge that are gestated around the fire. In open coding the data is compared, similarities and differences are identified. In axial coding expressions are fused and new concepts emerge. In selective coding the category is positioned. It is found as a counter-conduct and strategic action in the Misak village that update and transform their own through language, weaving and walking through the territory. As a conduct and strategic action, it gives continuity to the worldview, preserving unity and authority, sharing history, doing minga.
