Abstract

This article synthetizes historical and contextual elements of the configuration of indigenous teachings in México, in general, and in P’urhépecha of Michoacán, in particular. This seeks to reveal social and power constructions that has been naturalized in the indigenous school education, where scientism discrimination starting with the anthropological experimentation, political and institutional disdain, exclusion of indigenous people from the design of their own education as well of the lack of resources have generated a deficient historical construction: a “appear lacking” of indigenous teachings, which are not considered sufficiently “cultured” or prepared. Indigenous teachers, historically, have been denied participation in their own curricular designs, material, pedagogical, theoretical and academic resources, relegating them to the background of the National Educational System. This article derives from doctoral research on P’urhépecha teachings in Michoacán. The research’s perspective used was qualitative, using ethnographic research strategies which included common/shared reflexivity processes with a group of basic education teachers belonging to the P’urhépecha people, who are also trainers of indigenous teachers in Michoacán. Arguments discussed with P'urhépecha teachers and the documentary research that supports the idea of “appear lacking” in indigenous teachings are presented.

Keywords:

indigenous education, indigenous teachings, p'urhépecha education, educational policies.
