Abstract

This paper analyzes the role played by the indigenous knowledges of the People of the Centre -a multiethnic indigenous group of Colombian Amazonia- in the Witoto Ethnic Safeguarding Plan of Leticia (PSE). This is one of the 34 Plans that the Colombian Constitutional Court compelled the State to create and implement to protect indigenous peoples threatened by internal forced displacement. Drawing on anticolonial and decolonizing research and on subaltern perspectives on human rights, the paper focuses on the PSE as an intercultural and unequal dialogue that forces indigenous people to express themselves in the State and Court's discourses of rights.
