Intercultural bilingual education, indigenous feminism, territory.Abstract
From the different indigenous uprisings in Ecuador, the educational law of indigenous people began to consolidate in the normative field. In the Andean Indigenous worldview, women are the representation of culture, language and teaching, these elements symbolize their own communal life. For this reason, it is no coincidence that the first claims of indigenous women, in addition to the territorial ones, are the right to intercultural and bilingual education, because it responds to organizational dynamic itself of people. The territory occupies a decisive place in these demands for its cultural connection and evokes to think of a type of distant feminism from the liberalism and closer to the collective rights. This difference could become a practical-communitarian feminism that is yet to be developed.
