| Sumario: | This paper aims to describe the "own ways" of thought of four indigenous people from Colombia (Kogi, Wiwa, Arhuaco and Kankuamo). The research focuses on the fundamental narratives that invoke principles and dispositifs considered essential for its own culture. I discuss the meaning of own culture to the indigenous’ "essential communication" and their relationship with the physical and spiritual diversity of the universe. From the sense of communication expressed in Yuluka – the principle that accompanies the native sense of being and acting -, I present how other key principles are articulated to thought and own culture functioning (Alúna and Sewá). I analyze these principles, especially the assessment that indicates they enable mankind to fulfill his original mission of care and constant communication between all that exists in the world. |
