FAYAD-SIERRA, Javier Alfredo. Indigenous Childhoods as a Differential Configuration of the Conceptions of Contemporary Childhood. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.83, e306.  Epub Aug 06, 2022. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num83-11900.

There are cultural differences in the conception of childhood between the way of conceiving families and education from the global and the particular cultural of indigenous communities, they are different logics because one gives care to specialized institutions and the other requires the preservation of certain traditions of care that ensures survival as differential peoples; one systematizes and applies and the other carries out experiences and experiences that follow the life cycle and upbringing guidelines of the particular culture. Today's childhoods are increasingly mechanized and enclosed, distancing them from their cultural essences and from their ethnic influences that are producers of special cultural meanings. It seems that childhoods remain in the influences of communication and consumption that reproduce certain institutional forms that move generations away from the influence of cultural upbringing patterns. In the case of indigenous peoples in Colombia, there are riches in these ways of caring for and transmitting culture from worldviews, cultural traditions, who are in a situation of how to institutionalize childhood from entities such as the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare it ignores the importance of these cultural forms, producing a crisis of representation, appreciation and visibility of the childhoods of indigenous peoples.

Keywords : childhoods; indigenous childhoods; life cycles.
