SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

At present, the world has begun to give more and more value to the ancestral knowledge and to his applications in diverse fields, like in the engineering, the health, the art and others. But this recognition is still incipient and it is not achieved to translate significantly in the improvement of the conditions of extreme poverty.

One of the problems for the improvement of the above mentioned conditions, in addition to the existing conditions of illiteracy and under nourishment, is the indifference of the authorities that had to his charge the promotion of the native communities. Also, it believes erroneously that the cultural and linguistic diversity constitutes an obstacle for the development.

This diversity is evident clearly in the differences that we can appreciate between Amazon, Andean natives and cost people. In every case, there are different realities with big cultural wealth: legends, myths, traditions, rites, dances, scales of values, and technologies applied to the flora and fauna, as well as the world view. All these declarations have clear common elements in spite of the different territories that the different peoples occupy in the American continent.

The majority of the indigenous American settlers live in conditions of vulnerability and in situation of minor opportunities opposite to the change, but nevertheless, have managed to support a vigorous sense of ethnic and cultural identity, which gives them a comparative advantage to the moment of the implementation and project execution of development in the aspects, politician and of sustainability.

The political Latin Americans of national development, in general have not admitted that the cultural and intellectual sovereignty of the indigenous settlers, on the contrary, they have inclined to discredit them as protagonists of his own development, even if the political ones of identity recognize the value of the technologies and of the indigenous knowledge. The Cultural heritage and cultural identity are some of the hardware that can facilitate the process of endogenous development. Even if some modest recent achievements are had, in areas as that of the human rights of all the peoples, and an increasing international recognition of which the indigenous matters constitute a substantive part of the crisis of development in Latin America. Nevertheless, most of the politicians and the theoretical ones keep on questioning the participation of the indigenous settlers in the planning and implementation of projects and political of sustainable development, neither with the argument that there are no experts, nor indigenous professionals who can be consulted.

In Peru a national effective politics must be executed for the development of the indigenous communities, the intercultural bilingual education EIB being used as base. Associate must take in account, also, the cultural characteristics of the indigenous Amazon and Andean settlers, who have not been valued by the agencies of cooperation, except for exceptions. Let's add to this the need to focus the interculturality as parameter of educational success, in order to limit the problems of self-esteem and of adaptation to the culture and "western" Peruvian society. Finally, it is necessary to complement the educational work with the identification, formation and leaders' development, which allow actions holistic and professional in favour of the native communities.
