My raiz

My Raiz is a research project about the epistemological dilemma between science knowledge and the wisdom and know-how of indigenous communities.

We promote a platform of dialogue to question the relationships between humans and the natural world based on the urgent need for a paradigm shift of domination of Nature towards a sense of belonging.

Indigenous women have a particularly influential connection to the environment through their daily interactions producing wealth using a holistic and ecological knowledge of Nature's processes.
