Familia and Comunidad‐Based Saberes: Learning in an Indigenous Heritage Community

This article explores how children and youth learned indigenous heritage saberes (knowings) through intent community participation in N ocutzepo, M exico. The familia (family) and comunidad (community)‐based saberes were valuable for skills acquisition, but most important for learning indigenous forms of belonging, responsibility, and integration into adult life. Understanding indigenous heritage philosophies of learning and familia and comunidad saberes can help expand educators' knowledge about the learning practices of indigenous heritage families and students in schools.
