Restore Harmony: Remedies for the Healing of Mother Earth from the Nasa and Guna Peoples

Abstract

The main methodological strength of this work is that it is based on the processes of Guna People in Panama and Nasa People in Colombia. It ensures that the word dialogue between communities in the region that are fighting a battle for a Mother Earth who demands balance and restoration of harmony and peace. It represents the popular and indigenous feeling, a reflection from experience and its own symbolism. Their style, structure and justification reconfigure the thought and knowledge coloniality. Where does the disease that sickens Pacha Mama come from? It is a question that undoubtedly originates in the economic groups that control capitalism, extractive industries, mining, hydroelectric and oil megaprojects. For indigenous peoples, oil and gas companies, lumberjacks, miners and businessmen are the cause of the damage to their territory, the pollution of rivers, the destruction of flora and fauna.
