“…The history curriculum in Latin America has predominantly focused on the last five centuries from the Spanish occupation, often neglecting the continent’s rich and diverse prehispanic heritage. There is an awareness of the need for a representation of the continent’s history that gives justice to its cultural roots before the arrival of the Europeans ( Cisternas Irarrázabal, 2018 ). To address this historical imbalance, we emphasized how the Americas were populated long before the Spanish colonization.…”

“…In more recent times, an increasing awareness of the value of cultural and linguistic diversity, coupled with rising attention to human and indigenous rights, has enhanced the way for the implementation of intercultural and bilingual education programs in Chile such as the "Programa Orígenes" and the program for Intercultural Bilingual Education (Figueroa Burdiles et al, 2018;Aguayo et al, 2022). These initiatives have primarily been applied in rural areas and, while they still require refinement, have contributed to a stronger sense of indigenous identity among the students (Cisternas Irarrázabal, 2018).…”

In response to inequality in access to genomics research, efforts are underway to include underrepresented minorities, but explicit (and enforcing) guidelines are mostly targeted toward the Global North. In this work, we elaborate on the need to return scientific results to indigenous communities, reporting the actions we have taken in a recent genomic study with Mapuche communities in Chile. Our approach acknowledged the social dynamics perpetuating colonial hierarchies. We framed genetic results to empower indigenous knowledge and communities’ history and identities. A fundamental step in our strategy has been sharing the results with the communities before publishing the scientific paper, which allowed us to incorporate community perspectives. We faced the challenge of translating genetic concepts like admixture, emphasizing the distinction between identity and biology. To reach a broad and diverse audience, we disseminated the study results to single community members, cultural representatives, and high schools, highlighting the importance of the history of the region before the European contact. To facilitate results dissemination, we prepared didactic material and a report in Spanish written in non-specialized language, targeting a wider Latin American readership. This work illustrates the benefits of discussing scientific findings with indigenous communities, demonstrating that a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach fosters knowledge sharing and community empowerment and challenges power dynamics in genetic research. Bridging the gap between academia and indigenous communities promotes equity and inclusion in scientific endeavors.

Este artículo se enmarca en el ámbito de las actitudes lingüísticas en contextos de contacto y desplazamiento lingüístico. El abordaje de los sistemas de creencias y valoraciones subjetivas de los hablantes de lenguas minorizadas es relevante, pues evidencia y proyecta las motivaciones que subyacen al comportamiento sociolingüístico de las comunidades y provee aportes para el diseño e implementación de programas de enseñanza y revitalización lingüística. En esta propuesta se examinan las principales actitudes lingüísticas de jóvenes mapuches hacia el mapudungun y su proceso de revitalización. El enfoque es cualitativo y los datos se obtuvieron a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas que se realizaron a colaboradores mapuches bilingües pertenecientes a diferentes comunidades de Araucanía y Biobío en Chile. Los resultados muestran actitudes muy positivas en torno a la lengua originaria y un conflicto actitudinal que podría influir en la decisión de no querer hablar mapudungun. En cuanto a la revitalización lingüística, los jóvenes identificaron diferentes agentes responsables de este proceso, donde la escuela podría cumplir un rol fundamental si se realizan transformaciones estructurales.
