Resumen
The following text is the result of a research process about how the constant stigma of “indio patirrajado” (a negative colloquial expression to point out people with indigenous features that could be translated as indigenous foot riven.) resulted in the denial of the Pijao indigenous legacy in the Arcila Prada family. The present investigation analyses the modern- colonial project established in the dominance of the written word, the construction of the indigenous people as deformed, cannibals and ungraceful beings and the imposed idea by the catholic church of God as the one and only savior. Aspects that diminished, lessened and therefore exterminated all of the indigenous knowledge. The methodology used to write this thesis was to weave stories, creating a dialogue among autobiographical narratives, intercultural critique, the indigenous research paradigm and the corazonar. In the process of this research a familiar and personal disconnection with the ancestral background was identified by the author, which enabled her to reconnect with what was being denied, through the various stories, dreams, myths, trips, interviews, dialogues, symbols and visions that inform this project. Indigenous, barefoot and foot riven, telling and weaving the denial family history of our Pijao background, shows how the modern-colonial project directly affected the fate of the Pijao people, but also particularly affected families like the one exposed in this thesis, aiming to weave new ways to the resignification of the inherited indigenous legacy.
