The common-indigenous in the face of globalization. Plots to understand the struggles for decolonization

Abstract

The objective of this work was to measure the expropriating and destructive character that colonialism has had and still has on the reality of indigenous peoples, and how colonialism continues to cast its shadows of destruction globally in times of ecological annihilation. We consider the indigenous-commons as the nucleus from which to understand the proposal of transformation and community resistance of indigenous peoples; the place that gives foundation and meaning to their political practice of rights. We have moved towards a political critique of the concept of Rights of Nature, in a double sense: as a critique of what it is not, of its misrepresentation by the State; as an alternative proposal to understand the centrality that the ecology of living beings has in indigenous worldviews. Finally, we conclude with what we consider the main fractures in the protection of indigenous rights, gaps that ultimately rest on the need to annul and destroy the indigenous understanding of life (s) due to the critical potential that they imply for the new colonial reason.
