Abstract


In this systematic review of the literature referring to the Muisca indigenous communities located in urban areas and surrounding areas of the city of Bogotá, significant experiences generated around this community were compiled in order to strengthen knowledge that contributes to studying, analyzing and redefining ancestral knowledge that guides other learning dynamics in the social sciences that transcend the Eurocentric vision.


 


During the research, various articles and studies were addressed that serve as input for this purpose in the school context; the research period spanned from 2005 to 2024. This information was grouped into keywords, and some interpretations and analyses are presented that motivate reflection on the need to promote exercises that address this process


Building academic experiences in the social sciences that are shaped by this perspective is imperative for working in this field, which in turn constitutes an invitation to generate future research related to the decoloniality of knowledge and the epistemologies of the South.

En síntesis, Álvarez-Tobos (2020) manifiesta que

es necesario tener no solo mayor claridad en torno al periodo indígena de la historia de América Latina, sobre el cual existe un gran desconocimiento, sino que también se estimularía el diálogo con sus descendientes actuales, que no solo son sujetos “exóticos” sino también agentes que contribuyen todos los días de manera importante al desarrollo y la diversidad cultural de nuestros países. (p. 252)

En esa misma dirección y mencionando específicamente el resguardo de Cota y las instituciones muiscas, Wiesner-Gracia (1987) afirma que

se buscan los hilos conductores por medio de los cuales explicar la razón de su supervivencia en una época tardía, dentro de un contexto socioeconómico de acelerado desarrollo capitalista y dentro de una de las principales áreas de transformación demográfica y cultural del país desde principios de la Colonia: la sabana de Bogotá.
