Methodological paths for the analysis of URACCAN's Intercultural Community accompaniment in the Mayangna indigenous people

Abstract

This article analyzes the methodological paths of the Cultivation and Nurtuting of Wisdom and Knowledge (CCRISAC) as a paradigm to strengthen intercultural community support towards the Mayangna indigenous people in the Sauni As territory, Nicaragua. Focused on good living and the exercise of collective rights, the study arises from the need of indigenous communities to face sociocultural and economic challenges through processes of cultural revitalization, self-management and development with identity.

From a methodological pluralism approach, the CCRISAC is presented as a tool that integrates its own forms of creation and recreation of knowledge, highlighting the dialogue of knowledge, conversations and etymological tracing as central methods. This paradigm, which articulates endogenous and exogenous knowledge, seeks not only to analyze the effectiveness of URACCAN's support strategies, but also to transform traditional research practices, reclaiming indigenous methodologies as a basis for the construction of further knowledge.
