| Summary: | Abstract
Since its inception, the Ecuadorian indigenous movement represented by the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, CONAIE, has set objectives aimed at the defense of nature, the construction of an intercultural society, the strengthening of cultural identity and the consolidation of political actions. In this sense, the research aims to show the presence of the intercultural discourse of said organization in its Facebook posts. Teun Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (ACD) methodology has been used, with a qualitative approach. To apply the ACD, the analysis was distributed in 5 categories evidenced within the publications from June to December 2020. The frequency of the categories showed that CONAIE uses the Facebook platform to expose, to a large extent, issues of social demands and political and, to a lesser but considerable extent, intercultural and collective elements. It is concluded that CONAIE handles a vindictive discourse in the face of social reality, but does not abandon the intercultural principles that have founded the organization and that have become a political and identity conception of the peoples and nationalities of Ecuador; considering that the intercultural participation of CONAIE on Facebook is not only measured by cultural and ethnic aspects, but also by its class condition and discourses that influence other popular sectors and organizations that are not clearly part of the indigenous movement, but that pursue ideologies and similar thoughts.
