| description | this paper examines the main role of cultural revitalization by establishing the base for a symmetric dialogue regarding environmental litigious issues. This examination discusses several experiences of participatory investigation carried out in Parque Nacional Canaima, Venezuela, from 1999 till present. These experiences sought to promote discussions about the use of fire in the indigenous village of Pemón, in order to strengthen the capacity for dialogue and negotiation with other stakeholders about the sustainable management of their territories. The promotion of dialogue included discussions about processes of cultura change and the transformation of identity. These experiences have shown that once traditionally neglected environmental knowledge is accepted –as part of their cultural and political strengthening agenda-, indigenous peoples can feel more confident to participate in dialogues with other stakeholders about complex and multifactor topics, e.g., the use of fire. These processes of group reflection pioneer towards a larger cognitive justice within environment and territory management which, in turn, is part of a greater process of intercultural construction. The right of the indigenous peoples to self-reflection, to think differently, and to have freedom of speech regarding their knowledge is central for the dialogue and equitable intercultural exchange. |
