Abstract

At present, the recognition of cultural identities is transforming the way in which mestizo society sees indigenous cultures in our country, society is accepting diversity as part of its daily life, meeting the needs of people and their indigenous communities has become a challenge for Social Work professionals, who seek to generate through the study of cultural competence: homogeneous societies, free of stereotypes and marginalization, trying to prevent social inequalities, ensuring cohesion and social well-being. Achieving a family intervention within an indigenous community is a challenge for professionals, since the aspects of the mestizo culture are often contrasted with the aspects of the indigenous culture, the development of the indigenous culture is based on the intrapersonal and interpersonal, knowing each of the aspects of a culture makes the professional competent from the cultural point of view, in this way a correct approach is achieved with the community, family or individual of a community that is the object of intervention, generating results positive based on the equity and well-being of the members of a community. Indigenous communities are currently going through complex acculturation processes, especially in the new generations, therefore it is important to strengthen cultural expressions, which contribute to the revaluation of the identity and cultural diversity of the country's indigenous peoples and nationalities
