Abstract
Introduction. This article results from the worry
for social and environmental issues in the search for
acknowledging diversity as a richness of the social to
present environment of humanity. Objective. Among
its objectives, there is to present an approximation
to social, environmental and cultural realities of
indigenous communities in Latin America and,
specifically, in Colombia, those ancestral communities
living in La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (SNSM)6
.
Materials and methods. In the socio-education
environmental analysis, the methodology has been
doubly reflexive dialogues, with contributions of
ethnography and symbolic interactionism, having the
community in its territory as a referent, because in
that place, individuals are inserted; they belong to
that territory and interact with different elements
of nature; they have a better connection with such a population due to their approach to their social
environmental and cultural realities. Results. As a
relevant aspect, it was concluded that: Indigenous
communities for several centuries were subject
to invisibility conditions, a situation which has been
partially overcome due to organizational changes and
to permanent fights of people; in the last twenty-five
years, it has been noted that education implemented
in indigenous communities has played an important
role in its configuration and survival as people, since
it keeps its social cohesion and balance relations
with nature; for this reason, the acknowledgment of
their population dynamics is very important in this
type of process. Conclusion. Finally, it can be stated
that education being implemented in indigenous
communities plays an important role in configuration
and survival as people, since it keeps social cohesion
and balance relations with nature.
