Abstract

This paper proposes a reflection based on Smith ́s (2012) and De Sousa Santos ́(2011) ideas on some issues that Western dominant-positioned researchers should consider in the process of becoming aware of the harmful effects of our culture in indigenous towns, as well of the choices we have to show solidarity with their process of decolonization.
