Abstract
The intent of this article is to present, from a specific case, the multiplicity of intentions and discussions between indigenous organizations from Cauca, Colombia. I go back to the concept of ethnicity in order to understand indigenous organizations as arenas where ethnic processes are reconstructed, relationships are redefined and the way diversity is recognized is questioned. However, this paper focuses exclusively on the different expressions and relationships that exist within indigenous organizations, especially those created after the Constitution of 1991. For this purpose I present how the Education Program of the Eastern Cauca Territorial Council of Indigenous Authorities (COTAINDOC) and their main proposals emerged.I conclude that this program redefines its way of recognizing cultural diversity and relationships with other organizations and institutions.
