“…This understanding of the territory goes beyond the definition of a geographical space delimited by political-administrative jurisdictions. This broader vision implies the need to make an interpretation of the processes of use, appropriation, and construction of the territory, considering the multiplicity of society-nature and space-time relationships that configure it (Viasús-Figueredo et al 2016). Consequently, addressing indigenous territoriality implies an understanding that, for an indigenous community, the inhabited place is understood as a territory that is conceived under a native worldview, native insofar as it is both a material expression of social and political order as well as a collective representation of social relations (Correa, 2004).…”

Tegria’s community is part of the U’wa indigenous people, who have inhabited the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy since the pre-Hispanic period, in the jurisdiction of the current municipality of Cubara in Boyaca (Colombia). However, this region known as Sarare has been described from anthropological, ethnohistorical, linguistical, and to a lesser extent, geographical approaches, which have generated representations of territory that ignore the historical process of indigenous people. To account for the present territoriality, it was proposed to contrast these external discourses with the community’s visions on its history of occupation and the transformations of the inhabited space, compiled through participatory methodologies that sought the collaborative construction of knowledge based on joint recognition of the place, the participant observation and the constant dialogue between indigenous and researchers. In this way, it was established that the external discourses show a territory that does not correspond to the processes of appropriation, adaptation, and reconfiguration of the space that the U’wa indigenous community has lived through and are evident in everyday settings such as the cultivation plot and the school. Therefore, it is only possible to recognize indigenous territoriality by exploring other alternatives, expressions, and perspectives that involve directly the communities and are not external to the context of the inquiry itself.
