Conocimiento maorí, Sostenibilidad Indígena, Rangatahi (juventud), Urupā tautaiao (entierros verdes), Tapu (sagrado)Resumen
El giro hacia las epistemologías indígenas es uno de los cambios más emocionantes y revolucionarios que ha ocurrido en la universidad en las últimas tres décadas y actualmente está acelerando su influencia en Aotearoa, Nueva Zelanda. Trae consigo nuevas formas dinámicas de pensar sobre la investigación y nuevas metodologías para llevarla a cabo, una mayor conciencia de los diferentes tipos de conocimiento que la práctica indígena puede transmitir y un cuerpo de información esclarecedor sobre el proceso creativo. La práctica indígena brinda acceso a otras formas de conocimiento y enfoques alternativos para conducir y presentar el conocimiento. Este artículo analiza un proyecto maorí en este contexto, cuyo objetivo es desafiar a los pueblos indígenas a (re)evaluar las prácticas poscoloniales perjudiciales para el medio ambiente en el espacio de la muerte. El proyecto explora el concepto de las actitudes rangatahi (juventud maorí) para revitalizar las antiguas prácticas de muerte maorí para informar el desarrollo de la intervención de diseño destinada a desafiar las prácticas coloniales mortuorias. Como tal, es parte de una investigación más amplia que cuenta con el apoyo del Marsden Fund de la Royal Society of New Zealand. El resultado del proyecto incluye el diseño de un moderno sitio de conmemoración de urupā tautaiao (entierro natural), aplicando tecnología como plataformas tribales de redes sociales sobre la muerte y mapeo GPS de wāhi tapu (lugares sagrados). La muerte es muy tapu (sagrada) para los maoríes y requiere estrictas observaciones de los rituales para garantizar la seguridad espiritual. La revitalización de los saberes tribales no es solo prerrogativa de los mayores, las voces de los jóvenes indígenas deben ser escuchadas ya que son el futuro, del planeta y de los pueblos. Este proyecto contribuye a la comprensión de la investigación que navega a través de fronteras filosóficas, intergeneracionales, territoriales y comunitarias, evidenciando teorías y metodologías que informan a los estudios culturales y la práctica creativa.
