Cuando se habla de descolonización, frecuentemente se hace referencia al proceso en el cual los territorios sometidos a los poderes coloniales ponen fin a su estatus de colonia. Sin embargo, esta definición suele quedarse corta al no expresar todas las connotaciones que descolonizarse significa para los pueblos indígenas, lo cual va desde la restauración de prácticas ancestrales, la promoción y uso de los idiomas, la soberanía indígena, la generación de alimentos, la apropiación de la indumentaria, la recuperación de prácticas y formas de ver y entender el mundo, entre muchos otros. 1, record 1, Spanish, - descolonizaci%C3%B3n
