OCHOA-ACOSTA, Emilia María e QUINTERO-MEJIA, Marieta. Approximation of knowledge and practices in health related to indigenous children in Colombia. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.43-53. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16101.
After reviewing numerous primary and secondary sources, this article examines different studies that have explored knowledge and practices in health related to indigenous childhood. The authors seek to acknowledge the place of indigenous childhood within different ways of life, the concept of health and dealing with diseases that have historically been concealed. The complicated network of relations that leads to a vast amount of meanings on how to be an indigenous boy or girl, how to live or die, how to be looked after and valued, and on many occasions and how to become invisible are all analyzed. These meanings are difficult to establish due to the long history of exclusion suffered by the indigenous population in Colombia. Nevertheless, they provide elements that may be useful as a starting point for future research.
