Author

Carlos Grádiz, Lina, Garth, Sonia, Ingram, Paula, Carlos Grádiz, Lina, Garth, Sonia, and Ingram, Paula

Abstract

The approach was based on the research: Beliefs and traditional customs of the Miskitu indigenous people from Kahkabila community, Laguna de Perlas, Autonomous Region of the South Atlantic of Nicaragua (RAAS). Revitalization is considered an important factor for strengthening the identity and self-esteem of the people and therefore the development of the community and Intercultural Bilingual Education (IBE). For the analysis of the gradual loss of the beliefs and ancestral traditions of this Miskitu community, the causes are identified and alternative solutions are proposed that contribute to the awareness of the youth. Interviews in the Miskitu language were applied to adults and the elderly; in kriol language to young people, women and men. Observation was used, in order to value the way and life style of the community members. It can be mentioned that the results of the main causes of the traditional beliefs and customs loss, is the mass emigration of the Miskitu community from Kahkabila. The economic situation and the imitation of the lifestyle in other ethnic groups. The recommendations are based on cultural revitalization, Bilingual Intercultural Education, traditional attitudes and practices., El abordaje se hizo a partir de la investigación: “Creencias y costumbres tradicionales del pueblo indígena miskitu de la comunidad de Kahkabila” de Laguna de Perlas, Región Autónoma del Atlántico Sur de Nicaragua (RAAS). Se considera la revitalización un factor importante para el fortalecimiento de la identidad y autoestima del pueblo y por ende del desarrollo de la comunidad y la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (EIB). Para el análisis de la pérdida paulatina de las creencias y tradiciones ancestrales de esta comunidad miskitu, se identifican las causas y se proponen alternativas de solución que contribuyan a la sensibilización de la juventud. Se aplicaron entrevistas en la lengua miskitu a los adultos y ancianos; en kriol a los jóvenes, mujeres y varones. Se utilizó la observación, para así valorar la forma y estilo de vida de los comunitarios. Se puede mencionar que los resultados de las principales causas de la pérdida de las creencias y costumbres tradicionales, es la emigración masiva de los miskitu de la comunidad de Kahkabila. La situación económica y la imitación del estilo de vida en otras etnias. Las recomendaciones se basan en la revitalización cultural, Educación Intercultural Bilingüe, actitudes y prácticas tradicionales.
