Summary

Indigenous-led research initiatives in Tierradentro, Colombia, challenge the epistemic dominance of modern science by strengthening community autonomy and redefining territoriality. The study highlights how the Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca's 'intercultural community research' serves as a counter-narrative to multiculturalism, which often privileges Western scientific frameworks. This approach not only preserves but actively reconstructs Indigenous knowledge systems, offering a model for decolonizing research methodologies. Spanning 1991–2015, the work demonstrates how such initiatives can disrupt conventional power structures in academia and policy.
