| description |
This paper explores the value of narrative of the Siona Indians of Colombia as cultural patrimony and expression of ethics and aesthetics of daily life, collective memory and identity. It focuses on a group of narratives collected in the 1960s by a young Siona man, Felinto Piaguaje, who learned to write his language. Five of these were presented in a workshop in 2014 that intended to collaborate with the ongoing language revitalization and ethnoeducation projects of this Western Tukanoan speaking group. Two of the narratives examined in the workshop are analyzed, as well as the discussions and performances that they stimulated. The participating elders emphasized their value for collective memory regarding their perspective of the world and need for their preservation as cultural patrimony. The young teachers expressed the value of the narratives for educational activities and ethnic identity because they reference their own tradition and language in a context of rapid change. Siona narrative tradition continues to invoke their perspective of a fractal universe as well as philosophy of living well. In addition, in the contemporary situation, these narratives represent the expression of identity for the Siona, conveying information about who they are to themselves and others. |

Este trabajo explora el valor de la narrativa de los indios Siona de Colombia como patrimonio cultural y expresión de la ética y la estética de la vida cotidiana, la memoria colectiva y la identidad. Se centra en un grupo de narraciones recogidas en los años sesenta por un joven sionista, Felinto Piaguaje, que aprendió a escribir su lengua. Cinco de ellos fueron presentados en un taller en 2014 con la intención de colaborar con los proyectos en curso de revitalización lingüística y etnoeducación de este grupo de hablantes de Tukanoan Occidental. Se analizan dos de las narrativas examinadas en el taller, así como las discusiones y actuaciones que éstas estimularon. Los ancianos participantes destacaron su valor para la memoria colectiva en relación con su perspectiva del mundo y la necesidad de su preservación como patrimonio cultural. Los jóvenes profesores expresaron el valor de los relatos para las actividades educativas y la identidad étnica porque hacen referencia a su propia tradición y lenguaje en un contexto de cambios rápidos. La tradición narrativa siona sigue invocando su perspectiva de un universo fractal, así como la filosofía de vivir bien. Además, en la situación contemporánea, estas narraciones representan la expresión de la identidad de la Siona, transmitiendo información sobre quiénes son a sí mismos y a los demás.
