The Colombian Pacific is one of the largest and most biodiverse territories in the country. It is inhabited by Afro-descendants and indigenous people from different groups, but has little or no relevant and inclusive education. Here, we intend to reflect on the importance of ethno-educational work that starts from the speech and oral tradition to reach the knowledge of Afro-Pacific culture from elementary school, showing the obvious importance of endogenous ethnopedagogical work to achieve cementing ethnic and cultural identity in the early stages of academic life.
