Information and autonomy as guiding axes for indigenous community development

This paper uses the exploratory method for analyzing the role of information through the sources and resources which it contains it, as well as the autonomy process, both the legal as well as the generated by the diverse indigenous communities. A first approach of the linking between both aspects is made, in order to verify whether such integration impacts in the development of indigenous peoples. The conclusion is that according to the information gathered, they prefer the autonomy due to the respect and social recognition instead of that obtained by legal track. Besides there exists a lack of correspondence by part of the State towards indigenous authorities, which reflects a diplomatic and cordial gap, when treating matters concerning to the community. Lastly, it is an essential condition to interchange information of all kinds in order to achieve a fruitful and rewarding coexistence for both parts, mainly for the native peoples.
