Abstract
This article presents and analyzes an international gathering between five Indigenous Nations from Canada, Chile and Mexico at Wemotaci, Canada, in 2023. The nations participating in this gathering, organized as part of a partnership on the transmission of knowledge in indigenous contexts, focused their discussions on land-based pedagogies as tools of resistance in their common struggle against extractivism. With this in mind, the theoretical framework presented here articulates in an original way the concepts of resistance, land-based pedagogy and genealogy of places. Finally, the gathering is analyzed as a process of research decolonization in an indigenous context, based on the sharing of narratives and ceremonies, which contributes to the movement of inter-national co-resistance through the reconnection between Indigenous Nations and their territories.
