Abstract

MORALES-HERNANDEZ, Leonardo A. Cultural violence, colonialism and re-indigenization; meaning health´s practices from the indigenous perspective. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2015, vol.63, n.4, pp.699-706. ISSN 0120-0011.  https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v63.n4.50049.

In this paper, an analysis on the effect of colonialism and its cultural violence on the ethnic native groups is done taking into account the role of the re-indigenization process in the redefinition of their cultural elements, their health and the cultural practices that currently distinguish them. The re-indigenization of the Cota Muisca native community was set as an example.
