BUITRAGO-RESTREPO, Laura Vannessa e ALVAREZ-HERRERA, Laura Cristina. Kichwa childrearing in Medellin: tensions between ancestral and western practices. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp.93-117. Epub 01-Ago-2022. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.20.2.5022.
Addressing a topic such as indigenous child rearing using scientific and western concepts becomes complex and interesting in a context of diverse realities that need to be examined to broaden understanding of these practices. This research study is qualitative and uses a symbolic interactionism approach. It involved the participation of four families and five leaders from the Kichwa community living in the city of Medellin. The results capture the notion of childhood for this indigenous group and the practices they implement to maintain the Kichwa identity, as well as the complexities that a non-indigenous environment creates for raising their children. In conclusion, the Kichwa have sought to maintain their traditions for the upbringing of the children. However, the dynamics of the city affect these practices, especially in urban scenarios such as commerce and education.
