In such situations, hegemonic narratives linked to state actions in the health field are questioned. The movement of these women explores already consolidated paths to reach other strands of coexistence, acting on colonizing p rocesses that intend to promote a tension in indigenous socialities by transferring western care practices that question the knowledge of indigenous women. Thus, they resist in infrapolitic, the agency of these women has the power in itself to constitute realities that reject the meanings and social organization structured by the Western power.
