“…We also base our arguments on the debates about the gender issues in archaeology (Jácome and Furquin 2019), anthropology (Rosaldo and Lamphere 1974) Silva et al 2019). Based on these starting points we identified other literature that addresses and broadens the discussions on the transformations of human societies and provided insights to discuss the changes in values we now need, focusing on equity -from gender to ethnic (Saini 2017;Baldauf 2019;CIMI 2019).…”

The socio-environmental crisis that we are currently experiencing requires integrative research approaches and actions. Ethnobiology has important potential in this regard, both for its interdisciplinary nature and for recording the relationship between humans and the environment at different times and places. In this way, this opinion essay aims to discuss what we can learn from ancestral societies and Indigenous peoples for the establishment of a more equitable and sustainable world, considering the intersection between gender and ethnic groups. We will begin by examining archaeological data of societies in Old Europe and how domineering and patriarchal societies have been established. We will discuss a few findings about pre-Columbian peoples in America that reinforces the existence of more equitable societies. We add discussions related to gender, in the context of Indigenous peoples, and reflect on the importance of the feminine and of the complementarity in social relationships. Finally, we discuss the role of ethnobiological research in this context and the ways of collaborating to support values that favor the establishment of equitable societies, which are fundamental to address the challenges of this era of change.

“…Local and Indigenous knowledge systems have historically been sidelined in many arenas, including education (Chapman and Schott 2020). Ethnobiologists, because of their experience navigating different knowledge systems, are well positioned to encourage their institutions to incorporate different ways of knowing into curricula (Baptista and El-Hani 2009) or help develop new models of education that normalize Indigenous worldviews and teaching methods like those emerging in Latin America (Alvarez-Santullano Busch and Forno Sparosvich 2017; Baldauf 2019; López 2020; Pedota 2011).…”

“…La etnobiología es una disciplina que proyecta procesos de cambio en sus evidencias, en sus marcos conceptuales y en sus aproximaciones (BALDAUF, 2019). La capacidad auto reflexiva es indispensable para repensarnos en nuestro rol en la sociedad, que desde mi punto de vista, es de ser agentes de interlocución entre el sistema de conocimientos científicos y el sistema de conocimientos locales para un diálogo equitativo de saberes .…”

Desde una aproximación etnográfica cualitativa re-examiné mis trabajos publicados e hice un repaso de los resultados y sus discursivas (éticas y émicas) en el tratamiento del rol de las mujeres en la vida rural, distinguiendo aquellos abordajes acordes con la perspectiva de género, así como también mis equívocos patriarcales. Estos son los desentendimientos producidos por el sesgo patriarcal que impidieron visibilizar a las mujeres en forma completa. La revisión se basó en estudios realizados en comunidades rurales minifundistas del Norte de la Patagonia (Argentina), principalmente de origen Mapuche y/o Mapuche-Tehuelche y que han abordado distintos temas vinculados a la soberanía alimentaria. La fuerte construcción social existente acerca de las mujeres "cuidadoras" ha atravesado todos los trabajos, hecho que hace necesario repesar esa construcción de sentido y reflexionar junto con las mujeres rurales y las investigadoras e investigadores. La invisibilización de mujeres y hombres, la sobre-generalización y la simplificación de resultados son equívocos que pueden servir de enseñanza para tener una mirada de género más sensible en el futuro.
