Abstract
This article analyzes the tensions between ancestral Mapuche knowledge that has been transferred from the Mapuche-Lafkenche communities of the La Araucanía region (Wajmapu) and the school knowledge that is taught in rural Chilean schools in that territory. This intercultural and interepistemic relationship is considered as a prelude to a pedagogy of alterity that allows mutual openings to an intercultural dialogue and overcoming the western monoculturality of the Chilean school curriculum. The method used is qualitative, anchored in a hermeneutical paradigm and is based on the design of the case study of an instrumental type with weighty descriptive scopes. The results show the presence of different knowledges that are not harmoniously found in the classroom, but from a tension that does not recognize cultural diversity, but rather perpetuates the invisibility of indigenous knowledge. The identity of some fails to flourish in the identity of others.
