Elementary school can be the place where many children discover the world. Unfortunately, inside it school curricula suggest only one way of looking at the world. As a result, children’s current knowledge acquired in their home is not covered by teachers. This leads to cultural assimilation of children in schools that are housed in indigenous communities. For this work, I try to show how from the arts and natural sciences there is a commitment to develop counter-hegemonic activities that investigate the environment and claim the space of an original language.
I will focus in activities developed in the South of Chile with Mapuche communities, where the connection of art, science and indigenous people initiates a better settling for schools. Finally, I will introduce allküntun (listening) as a way to understand basic knowledge in Mapuche culture.
