- Abstract
In a research carried out in the Colombian Nasa indigenous community, we found out that the categories: balanced existence, territory and reciprocity economy, act as an integrated axis of the ways of living in the community. This life philosophy is supported by social relationships characterized by the respect and care of each other, in opposition to the hegemonic discourse of development centered in accumulation of goods and services. Native economy aims for self consumption and self subsistence; it is an economy centered on solidarity, carried out collectively, and seeks to benefit all its members, focusing on human beings and not in goods. In this, it connects with the Good Living of many of our American cultures that resist the worldwide dominating productivist model.
