Narrativas emergentes sobre la construcción de paz indígena en Colombia: la resistencia sentipensante del pueblo Nasa Wes’x-Tolima

The different forms of violence that directly and indirectly affect the harmony and equilibrium of indigenous peoples in their territories represent structural and systemic phenomena that are the subject of reflection in peace studies from a decolonizing perspective. Therefore, the purpose of the following research article is to describe the emerging decolonial narratives that influence the construction of indigenous peace in Colombia, taking into account the experience of decolonial and subaltern resistance of the Nasa Wes'x people - Tolima. The methodology used is grounded theory in articulation with the narratives, voices, and community experiences coming from the oral discourse and liberating ethical praxis from the indigenous ontological subject (Escobar, 2016). Likewise, the collaborative research association, critical discourse analysis, and intersubjective dialogue in the horizontal framework between the researcher and social groups. Considering the theoretical-conceptual proposals of intercultural peacebuilding coming from Alonso (2010); Fontan (2013); Marquez Fernandez (2018), and Sandoval & Capera (2020a), oriented to the cosmovision/cosmogony of the indigenous communities facing the configuration of peace, balance, and harmonization in the ancestral territories as they are identity principles of collective, peaceful, non-violent resistance and restorative-territorial coexistence (Sandoval, 2021). One of the most important results is the construction of narratives of peaceful resistance from the decolonizing vision based on the struggles, demands, projects, and proposals from below of emerging order in articulation with the socio-cultural, peaceful, and democratic popular struggles of the Indian peoples against the project of open war, ethnic extermination and recolonizing practices of systemic violence that radically affects their human condition and indigenous existence.
