The purpose of this dissertation research is to study, analyze, compare, and document the current ethnobotanical (Carbono 1995) pedagogy and practices of Indigenous (Nasa) and Afro-indigenous peoples in Cauca on the Colombian Pacific Coast. The focus of this research is then on those practices and I study them using an intersectional (race-class-gender-sexuality) epistemology and analysis. Through the recording of interviews and oral histories with elders and younger people I will then document their ancestral knowledge as it informs the current ethnobotanical practices in these Afro and Indigenous communities in Cauca. Mostly as a student I will also accompany them in their daily lives through participant observation. I will begin my fieldwork with 20 to 30 surveys each in four communities, as a way to establish a baseline to understand these practices. I will interview 10 people in each community where I will spend a month in each with which to complete this political ecology (Robbins 1983/2000) dissertation project in the summer of 2018. I address my project questions then through ethnographic means – surveys, interviews, documentation of oral histories, and through participant observation by accompanying various people from these communities in their daily lives. How have these practices helped these communities maintain harmonious relationships with each other in the construction of hybrid ethnobotanies; in the context of a particular type of extractive racial capitalism (Robinson 1983/2000) and the violence that has made that possible? And how are these ethnobotanies an example of a more harmonious relationship between peoples and the rest of the environment? These will provide a better understanding and documentation of these ways of being and knowing which form the basis of current Indigenous worlds.
