Ancestral future

Authors

Keywords:

Future, ancestry, Nature

Abstract

Indigenous activist Ailton Krenak stars and echoes ancestral voices in his books, in which he corroborates other thinking, (Mignolo,2020) through a praxis dissociated from the Eurocentric worldview. Krenak's words are based on a future based on Good living and respect for nature. Thus, like the writings of shaman Davi Kopenawa, who manifests his spiritual resistance and cosmological vision, in the face of the coloniality of power (Quijano, 2007). Both criticize the Western model of society, as it lists the destruction of the environment in line with capitalism.
