El movimiento social del 15 de abril de 2011 en la comunidad indígena de Cherán, Mich., tuvo dos efectos inminentes: la autodefensa del territorio y el retorno a sistemas de organización tradicionales p’urhépechas. Este artículo muestra el surgimiento de las fogatas como espacio de diálogo y de aprendizajes situados. A través de un taller realizado con los niños de la comunidad, que se analiza como una práctica de educación comunitaria donde el saber se construye en la observación y en la acción, se abordaron las nociones de participación política, pertenencia comunitaria y defensa de la naturaleza.
