Summary
This chapter offers an overview of how indigenous Latin American ethics has centered on knowledge about the environment and earth. It proposes that although this is not a new conceptualization, it can be made more visible by examining the long process of imposition of colonial ethical values. With a focus on the centrality of the earth in indigenous ethics and education, this chapter discusses this process, from how early colonial texts like grammars and dictionaries aimed to replace indigenous ethics to bilingual language programs. In conclusion it suggests that indigenous educational practices have persisted through colonization and around the margins of top-down, state-mandated approaches, and are emerging in indigenous pedagogies that foreground the ethical dimensions of relationships with the earth.
