Description
Summary:This article is framed by several rites of different first peoples, where the principle and foundation of indigenous spirituality, which is based on alterity, is raised. Both the human being and nature are 'the other', who is the expression of the divinity. The perception of the 'other' implies assuming responsibility in defence of the rights of mother earth and the most vulnerable. Indigenous spiritual resistance is expressed in the face of historical and current abuses against indigenous peoples and our common home.
