Abstract
Este trabajo presenta las experiencias de una investigadora indígena que realiza estudios lingüísticos y etnográficos en su propia comunidad. Actualmente hay un creciente número de académicos integrantes de comunidades indígenas que incursionan en la documentación, descripción y promoción de sus lenguas de origen en un campo que fue creado por y para miembros de instituciones académicas históricamente alejadas del trabajo colaborativo con los hablantes de lenguas indígenas. El artículo describe algunos de los aspectos que la pertenencia cultural y comunitaria de la autora, le permiten profundizar en la investigación lingüística local, así como sus limitantes y dificultades. Responde de esta forma a la necesidad de que haya materiales y literatura que hable de la complejidad de experiencias de las investigadoras desde los diversos papeles que juegan, como mujeres, como parte de familias complejas e intergeneracionales, como integrantes de una comunidad y como miembros de instituciones educativas.
This work presents the experiences of an indigenous researcher who carries out linguistic and ethnographic studies in her own community. There is a growing number of scholars who are members of indigenous communities who venture into the documentation, description and promotion of their languages of origin. A field that was created by and for members of academic institutions historically distant from collaborative work with speakers of indigenous languages. The author’s belonging to the community and thus the culture allows her to have a profound insight into local linguistic research, as well as its limitations and difficulties. There is a need for materials and literature that addresses the complexities of native researcher’s experiences. These complexities include the different roles they play, as women, as part of complex and intergenerational families, as community members and as members of educational institutions.
