Sumario:Wyka Kwara means strength in walking. It is this expression that baptizes a Multicultural Association of Indigenous People in Tabas invaded by the city, survivors of the invasion, genocide and urbanization of their ancestral territories. It is also the name of the podcast created by this collective to provoke reflections on indigenous memory and identity. The objective of this work is to analyze how indigenous heritage is preserved in the Wyka Kwara Podcast, understanding how it establishes a memorable field based on certain thematic elements and presentation strategies. Methodologically, it constitutes an online ethnography. From the analysis of the structure and narratives in the episodes, the results point to a patrimonial dimension marked by the horizontal dialogue between people of different ethnicities throughout the national territory and by the sharing of experiences of pain and resistance in the face of racial and ethnic violence. It is concluded that this is a heritage strategy of a political nature, with consequences for the visibility of demands, the strengthening of identity affirmation and “indigenousness”.
