Abstract
This paper discusses the use of cartographic heritage of Latin American tribes as a pedagogical tool in spaces markedsocio-politically by the emergence of indigenous social movements claiming their ancestral territorial rights. In thiscontext, the role of cartography as a pedagogical tool for teaching history and spatial and cartographic practices ofthe peoples of Latin America was relegated to the background in comparison to the strategic-legal function adoptedto subvert power relations. The paper is based on two phenomena to explain the reasons why the cartographic heritagedoes not reach its full potential as a teaching tool at different levels of education in Latin America. In the existingliterature about the history of cartography, the power of representation mapping has, or its role in the reconstructionof indigenous territoriality, the approach is not the historical and cultural value or cartography, nor its function as ateaching tool.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
