Narratives of indigenous women: stories and social significations about the ancestral struggle

In the present work are developed advances of the doctoral thesis in Anthropology, which aims to identify and analyze the diversity of knowledge and practices of indigenous women of Olavarria (Buenos Aires, Argentina) susceptible to be part of the intangible heritage of the city, in order to contribute to its value and re-significance in the framework of its ethnic and identity processes. In this article are analyzed the articulations and interconnections with respect to the socio-historical context in which the ancestral struggle originated and that was transmitted generationally through the narrative of indigenous women. Likewise, when thinking of indigenous women as political and legal subjects, the modes of action deployed at the national level are presented to make their claims and generate ruptures with the academic, western and patriarchal discourse.
